On Tuesday a 6.3 magnitude giant earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand. The earthquake crashed tall buildings and churches, and sixty five people died from the country's worst natural disasters.
As you see above sidewalks and roads were cracked and spilt, of course the buildings were collapsing.
It was even impossible to say how many people were trapped and screaming for help. Polices, troops, and ambulances were urging to help the people, who were suffering from the destroyed buildings.
Four South Korean tourists were going through the earthquake when they were at the hotel in Christchurch. They were trapped inside after a wooden staircase in the building collapsed. Lucky four Koreans were rescued but currently there are 5,000 South Koreans living in Christchurch, which reports them to be careful with the earthquake.
