I would like to share some photos, which related to Christchurch earthquake on February 22nd, 2011. It happened during daylights, many people were working and some of them were studying at the academy. According to the report, at least 100 people died because of building collapse and what I researched about was why did the earthquake happen. It happened because New Zealand is part of the Ring of Fire, which means there would be a lot of earthquakes and volcanoes. Even 1 year ago, there was a magnitude 7.3 earthquake on South Island of New Zealand, not far from Christchurch. At that moment, 10000 homes destroyed and many people died as same as now. This earthquake gave very strong damage to the Christchurch because it’s only 3 miles away from the ground. Nobody expected to it happened because it was just a normal day as usual. At least 380 people are still on the wreckage of buildings but rescuers can’t help them anymore because there are still small amount of earthquake kept causing and decided its too dangerous to help them from the building. It could collapse anytime and anywhere.
