Horror in Christchurch in New Zealand at lunchtime today. A 6.3, 5km wide, shallow earthquake shook the heart of the City, instantly killing 65 people and trapping many others who are yet to be confirmed alive or dead. Financial industry workers, who survived the earthquake and its aftershocks, were seen carrying colleagues out of the destroyed office buildings, despite their own injuries. Emergency crews were on the scene within minutes. A group of doctors attending a medical conference near the crisis rushed to the disaster scene to help.
