Ironically just after the last post regarding our software provider in Christchurch we learned that the city had been smashed up again by a worse earthquake than that of last September. Buildings which survived the September quake have succumbed this time and they unfortunately include some of the city's icon buildings.
In the historic port town of Lyttelton, near the epicentre of the quake, damage is even worse.
Worst of all there have been fatalities this time - 65 at the time of writing and that figure will rise.
It is the last thing that Christchurch needed and apart from the physical damage the psychological damage will be severe as well. But just as German and other European cities rose again Phoenix-like after the destruction of WW2, Christchurch will too.
