Exploring New Zealand #8: Climbing the Christchurch Cathedral Tower

[georgiakelsey]

thanks for this. iv lived in christchurch my whole life and have always wanted to go up the tower but never got the chance ):

[diogok]

@georgiakelsey I can't believe you, man! Not even once?! Well, and how are things now?

[georgiakelsey]

@diogok iv been in the cathedral countless times but never up the tower cos mum hates heights and she went up there when she was a girl and freaked out and has never been up since so i never had anyone to take me up

[georgiakelsey]

@MrChurrboi they thought there was people in the tower but later discovered that there was nobady in there. there was an artist in there but she escaped by leaning out the window and waiting for help

@MrChurrboi no they weren't....why do people keep saying this.

[diogok]

@stopbeingnasty What time did it happen?

[georgiakelsey]

@diogok it happened on the 22nd of feb at 12:51pm

When I went to Christchurch about a month ago I was so sad to see what had happened i really wish I went up there but it's gone :(

I only stayed in Christchurch for 3 days and I experianced 12 aftershocks I will be praying for Christchurch.

[diogok]

@MrChurrboi Good point... what happened with them then?

[malcolmjacobson]

It will be rebuilt. I'm looking forward to it. Breaks my heart to see it at the moment

[diogok]

@malcolmjacobson And how are things now?

Not anymore mate. Yesterday, the 22nd of February 2011, the jolly thing crumbled after the earthquake. Enjoy the vision folks. They ain't making any more of this one..

[diogok]

@the2kerrys I hope they do rebuild it!
