NZ News
Marion has allowed me to share a little of what they are dealing with at home. It is a reality most of us will never have to deal with.From NewZealand: "I haven't wanted to post on the BB as it's all bad news. I can't see Christchurch being rebuilt in my life time. The destruction is widespread and dramatic. Nobody will want to enter, much less work, in a high rise building again. The recovery will take place but there will be serious concerns about rebuilding on this site. When the pioneers arrived and set out the city they had no thought or knowledge of liquefaction and earthquakes. We have that knowledge now. The after-shocks continue and the courage of the search and rescue teams is amazing. There is little hope of finding anybody alive anymore but they continue on as if the buildings are full of possible survivors. The injuries are horrendous. Many amputations, conducted in less than favourable conditions, just to remove people from the buildings. Identification of the recovered bodies is difficult, it could be awhile before people know for sure, the names of those who have died."
