If anything must be learnt from all this, it's that a stack of dry brittle blocks and mortar is no good at standing up to lateral shaking - the only merit to bricks/blocks is their high compression strength, and their near zero maintenance (in the absence of quakes). There's just way too much mass (and momentum/inertia) in a stack of blocks to withstand lateral shaking, and certainly in Chch and Wellington their use in future should be seriously limited. Build a bbq with them by all means, but don't construct a building wall from them!	Paul.Cov (425)
