Re: New Zealand Police Are Reporting "multiple Fatalities" After a 6.3-magnitude Earthqua
Rescue teams in New Zealand continued to search for survivors Thursday after a powerful earthquake rocked downtown Christchurch, killing scores of people, toppling buildings and leaving others trapped beneath piles of concrete. At least 75 people have died, 55 of whom have been identified, according to Prime Minister John Key. Hundreds are still missing, Key told reporters at a press conference Wednesday afternoon. Key also told reporters that he will urge the nation's parliament to declare a state of emergency for all of New Zealand. |

Re: New Zealand Police Are Reporting "multiple Fatalities" After a 6.3-magnitude Earthqua
Ive seen on the news here bodies crushed in cars. Bodies found in wreckage is marked with a pink X and buildings clear are spraypainted with yellow or simply 'clear' id like to see some real photojournalism come out of this, not the censored rubbish that the MSN sends us. There should be some somewhere, New Zealand is a very progressive country.
