A powerful earthquake ripped through Christchurch, New Zealand, on Tuesday afternoon, killing at least 65 people as it toppled buildings, buckled roads and damaged cathedrals.

Yep I saw the footage of the after effect of the tremors. Terrible. I don't remember if they mentioned an injury/death count, but let's hope everyone stay's safe and the town can return to normal soon.

In here they say about 300 deaths, as for now. Some people had luck, going out for a lunch outside. Terrible.
