Christchurch earthquake 2

Pretty soon after the earthquake hit and the roads were destroyed, a mixture of sand, mud and dirt erupted like a geyser filling up the streets and the gutters. Before long the streets were flooded.


A 7.4 earthquake hit Christchurch on the 4th of September. It was the most destructive thing Christchurch has ever seen.
Luckily in a population of over 500,000 noone was killed. Partly because the earthquake hit at 4:30 in the morning and noone was in the central business district. If it was during the day, thousands would have died.
