Sadness...
My father took this photo in 1975. So I have been there. I was eighteen months old though so I don't remember it.
But it was just the spire that fell. So long as there aren't too many severe aftershocks, the thing could probably be restored.
Much sadder are the other scenes - entire office buildings that have collapsed, crushed cars, crushed buses, homes missing walls. Probably won't know the final death toll for weeks. Sad sad sad.
Hang in there Christchurch....
