Christchurch Earthquake

[Spork]

How the fuck are you people still getting aftershocks? Is this normal?

[Pyromanik]

1) because that's how the earth works, sporky boy.

2) yes, quite.


Unfortunately for those who have homes that make them nervous.
It's only been 9 weeks.

[Spork]

Only..

So those other places that had huge (even bigger I think?) are still being torn apart?

[Speakman]

haiti is still going nuts

[Pyromanik]

^ Yeh, collera outbreak now :/


@Spork:

that one cracked a floor board..........

[Spork]

=( Depressing.

Also, yea I saw that about the floorboard, but NZ is a pretty well off country, where as Haiti on the other hand...

[Pyromanik]

Yeh. Pretty sure we're not going to have a collera cholera outbreak.

[Spork]

And to think I'm getting mad rage because I chose Adelaide United in FIFA 11 and they suck huge donkey balls.

Poor Haiti 

[Pyromanik]

I hope you're not up a hill. You might come home one day to find you live at the bottom of the hill

My mum has discovered their house piles are cracked too... they have yet to be seen by an EQC inspector.

This might be worth a watch to explain a bit more on the scientific understanding of earthquakes... This particular lecture isn't quite as good as some of his more recent ones but it's pretty good nevertheless.

Now those bloody salmon shirt wearing hipsters up north are trying to chime in on the earthquake histeria.

"BOO HOO, WE HAVE A BUILDING WITH A CRACK IN IT"

[camy205]

Dude it's pretty serious. You would have no idea what they must be experiencing bro.



Nah I am pretty sure if the earthquake hit Auckland the media would of reported much more. Kinda like how Americans still go on about 9/11 yet hundreds of innocent people from the middle east get murdered every day... Just saying...

where's that high horse..oh you fell off it. But honestly, exaggerations doesn't help your points (and smells of fake sympathy). But I think the Mexican drug war is close enough... ~27 a day.

It cracks me up and winds me up that they put a limit on the time you have to make a claim.
Especially when it's only a 2 months after the earthquake, and shit still rumbling.

Inspectors still stretched thin, damage still growing.
No way in hell is that enough time :/

~27 a day.

Houses with cracks in them?

[Spork]

Burritos eaten by one person?
