PART 15 Christchurch Earthquake PEOPLE ARE DEAD EVERYWHERE

Isaac and I adventured the streets around New Brighton to Discover that it looked like a war zone. Some of the streets shown are New Brighton Road, Rawson Street, Keyes Road, Rockwood Avenue, Bowhill Road, Bower Avenue, Palmers Road.

Hi there,yes you're right many people do need help.I was in no position to offer any help to these people as i was on a return from a water collection for my family&other families camping in my dads back section due to their houses being destroyed.I was in effect helping these other families with drinking water that was desperately needed.I have been providing water/food baby sitting children so parents can collect essential belongings from destroyed houses, providing a TV newscast 4 every1 etc

Why weren't you helping instead of adventuring? People need help!

Thanks for posting this. My family live on one of the streets you drove past. I've only been in touch with them since last March - so seeing their house is ok is reassuring. Our thoughts with all those in Chch, wishing you all the best from England.

Im glad to hear that you helped your familily and community. I have seen so many reports of rubbernecking which upsets me. know things are devastating but communities can make things better. I lived in your beautiful city 4 years. Christchurch has very much become my second home and I pray for strength for all of you.
