CBD:
Marche en centre ville, en dehors de la 'Red Zone', toujours fermee au public apres le tremblement de terre de fin fevrier 2011.... Je pensais que tout serait repare apres quasi 2 ans... J'etais bien loin de la verite.... Christchurch est encore dans la phase de demolition.... Toutes les photos avec des espaces vides, juste des graviers, etaient, il y a 2 ans, des batiments (effondres ou demolis depuis). Ca fait reflechir tout ca...
Walk in the CBD, outside of the Red Zone, still closed to the public... I thought the city was all fixed as the earthquake happened almost 2 years ago.... I was so far from the truth..... Quite disturbing to be honest.

This building just started to be demolished on Friday at about 6pm. The building, on the corner of Gloucester and Durham Streets, has been taken down by two crews using two high-reach excavators. The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority said the demolition of an eight-storey building would usually take at least a month. The teams worked for 48h straight as the building was on the border of the current red zone and dangerous for residents.
