FFS, shut up you cow and show a bit of empathy!

Sorry, all - rant over. She winds me up that one.

"This is because air traffic control for the country is run through Christchurch Airport."

My thoughts and hopes to all in Christchurch.
And condolences to those who have lost either loved ones, or thier homes etc.

I work for the govt dept that supports the NCMC and have been asked to work overnight shifts to support Civil Defence networks

my thoughts go out to all you guys in Christchurch, hang in there

**mfordy** · 22nd February 2011, 15:20

Another huge earthquake down there!...

Hope all you southern KBrs and families are safe

**cold comfort** · 22nd February 2011, 15:31

Tragic. So relieved my kids are OK. Condolences to those who have lost family. The "experts" concede this was yet ANOTHER fault. For all their academic postulating they really don't have a clue. Once again the stupidity of centralizing emergency services in ChCh become obvious with Southland losing the 111 service.

Makes you wonder if that was known all along?...the cynic in me says its possibly why not alot of rebuild has happened since last year.

...anyway, thoughts are with you guys in Christchurch, I have confirmation that daughter is ok.
My eldest daughter is in Perth and wants to come home, I told her shes better off there.
