Earthquake in New Zealand

Sorry I know this was supposed to be on the Alberta oil sands but I will be blogging more on that topic later in the week.

The second largest city in New Zealand, Christchurch was hit by an Earthquake. This happened Tuesday and was the second time its happened in this city in the last five months. This was a 6.3 magnitude earthquake and there hasn't been an official update on fatality's. There is a lot of damage and some buildings fell into the street. The worry is the amount of deaths considering this was a business day and alot of people work in that area. The only report so far says there were multiple fatalities, two buses have been crushed by falling buildings and many people were trapped in office buildings.I will blog more when the is an update on the earthquake.
