2011 Christchurch Earthquake Day III

1813: 98 now confirmed dead and up to 238 are missing. This includes 90 students and staff from  the King’s Education English language school, and 15 CTV staff.

For general discussion and updates. Should have appeared earlier but got home at 1 am and woke up at 10 am – which also happened to be the time i was due to appear before the Justice & Electoral Select Committee on the 2010 local body elections. The other posts were pre-loaded.

As with yesterday, any politics should be left out of it. All 122 MPs are reacting as human beings to a terrible tragedy, and while they have different roles, they are united in their genuine desire to assist and console.
