For me, I realized that I was too attached to my stuff. I figure all I really need to get by is a job, house, car, food, and family, and I'm damn lucky that I do because there are a lot of people out there who are a lot worse off than me. Just wondering, did Dunsandel get affected at all? |

| 1208802 | 2011-06-13 20:22:00 | Heh? Because its their entire world shakin like ****, Its a big, dangerous, carries no immediate warning and is completely out of anyone's control. of course its going to rattle people, how could it not? If i told you at some stage in the next two years you were going to be run over by a train it would still give you the shock of your life when it happened. Melta I was referring to the comment "starting to wonder if Christchurch is viable", I am stating these aftershocks were warned about since day one in September so no one should be surprised, sure its distressing for many. Try and read, its tiresome having to spell it out. |

There are many examples of modern buildings that have come of nearly un-scratched. There are also modern buildings that have performed poorly due to no earthquake dampening and questionable design. The old masonry building have been largely wiped out, no longer a issue. |

| 1208806 | 2011-06-13 22:53:00 | Poor folks around Sumner cliffs, saw boulders in the NZ Herald. Not nice putting up with quakes. One bloke said nowhere to run, like up against a tide when it happens. Heard on radio Brownlee mentioned some suburbs might need to be closed or abandoned, if not already. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

Try and read, its tiresome having to spell it out. You missed the point I was making with that statement. I am not surprised about the aftershocks, they are expected for quite some time to come and I did not mention anything about being surprised by them. The point I was making is how many of these large aftershocks, how much more damage must the city sustain before it becomes foolish to try and rebuild here |
