My prayers are with all of New Zealand.

[colliezoya]

My thoughts are with the people in Christchurch. Buildings can be rebuild, the people can't. 

[Kimjongil3000]

Hayley Westenra is awesome

@VisualVVatcher People's life cycles come and go. It is often difficult for families to come to terms with deaths of their own, but this is simply due to the incompleteness they feel in their lives through the loss. Why feel sad when there is still so much beauty around. Instead of crying for those that have passed away, why not celebrate all the things they left behind. I dont believe people should force others to feel sad % The person crying isn't necessarily the one feeling it the most.

Oh my gosh! I had no idea this had happened in NZ. All the best, Hayley, with this disaster. Stay strong and sing your heart out to help your people. Gabriel's Oboe is a beautiful song and I love the way you sung it. My thoughts to everyone connected with Christchurch. Light and Love

@VisualVVatcher She's just had a big shock and learned that her family are safe. She will also be putting on a brave face for the news. I could be wrong but she's probably laughing from shock and relief. That sounded like nervous laughter to me and itsjimupnorth. May also be that she's releived to hear that her family are safe.

[itsjimupnorth]

Hayley's nervous laughs are clearly due to shock. She did almost loose her dad in this catastrophe.

[georgelooney53]

nasty thing that ring of fire,can't sit down for weeks!

[VisualVVatcher]

Hayley shouldn't smile and laugh while talking about a fatal disaster.

I had no idea that New Zealand was part of the 'Ring of Fire' around the Pacific rim. I read that 1500 quakes and tremours are recorded every year--mostly small and causing little damage. Even so--pretty scary. There will surely be new stringent anti-quake building regulations now for the rebuild of Christchurch. Best wishes to all concerned--I've sent a donation to The British Red Cross--'New Zealand Appeal'--- How about it 'You Tubers' ?
