SOCCERROO FOX Posted 22 February 2011 Author Posted 22 February 2011 Yep i think i was just in shock (see what i did there ) Sorry Mod
Haydos Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Not having the best of luck at all in that part of the world Bad times!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 22 February 2011 Author Posted 22 February 2011 Just heard from one mate who is ok thankfully she is pretty shaken up and tired from having to walk a few hours home. Hope my other couple of mates are ok, i was in Greece with one of them when we got news of the last earthquake and it took all night for him to get in touch with family so not expectng immediate news from him.
Collymore Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 There's probably going to be over a 100 dead, tragic.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 22 February 2011 Author Posted 22 February 2011 There's probably going to be over a 100 dead, tragic. Just seen some of the pics my mate took from outside his house and inside his house doesn't look good
cambridgefox Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Not good for the people and families who have lost their lives,but looking at the pictures on the news,they are so lucky they are a modern country,if that had been in a developing country i dread to think what the death toll would have been. Makes you realise when you have had a bad day at work,it really is not that bad.
FoxyPV Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 There's probably going to be over a 100 dead, tragic. More in the region of 200 now. Scary.
purpleronnie Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Terrible news, feel for all the families involved in this tragedy.
StanSP Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Terrible to be part of that world right now The main thing is that it was while people were at work and essentially, peak time.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Terrible to be part of that world right now The main thing is that it was while people were at work and essentially, peak time. yes its very sad isnt it, i hope the NZ people manage to get back on their feet soon. Best of luck to them
cambridgefox Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 yes its very sad isnt it, i hope the NZ people manage to get back on their feet soon. Best of luck to them I really dont think you meant it and i am not having a dig but"i hope the NZ people manage to get back on their feet soon" after an earthquake, has sent a few images running through my head that should not be there.
Wymsey Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Hope the residents recover quickly from it. 'These are the times when others help is much needed to help other around them.'
Fox1651 Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Best of luck to people over there it must be a horrible and frightening time for relatives etc
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 My wife was worried cos her brother is in Australia. I explained it by saying, "You know they often have earthquakes in Greece and Turkey? Well, have you ever felt one? Cos it's pretty much the same distance." Anyway, it's all very sad.
Phube Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Shocking... I took these photos in February 2007: Now:
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 22 February 2011 Author Posted 22 February 2011 I've been told from mates that once you know your family is ok you just go out and help until your exhausted and when she tried to go to sleep after shocks just kept her awake anyway. Also saw her on the news which was good to see she is safe.
FoxyPV Posted 22 February 2011 Posted 22 February 2011 Just watched some of the amateur footage on tv. It was scary stuff.
z-layrex Posted 23 February 2011 Posted 23 February 2011 A guy I know and a close friend of some of my mates is travelling in nz and was staying in christchurch for a while. He's not replied to anyone on fb since or got in touch. I'm sure he's fine but some people are getting a bit worried.

Hope he's alright, i know the feeling 3 mates that live there and none of them responded for what seemed like an eternity
StanSP Posted 24 February 2011 Posted 24 February 2011 This was taken moments after the earthquake struck...
BrightonFox01 Posted 26 February 2011 Posted 26 February 2011 Hi guys. I'm in Adelaide and it's taken me days to get hold of relatives in Christchurch. They're all safe thankfully. For people who are worried about friends/family etc., please bear in mind that the power is out in the majority of the place ie no phone charging, computers etc. Also, the few phone systems that have power have been overwhelmed by millioms of calls from around the world. Slowly there is power coming back on, but up till now people have had to travel across the City to friends etc to charge phones, check FB and emails. A lot more devastation than September. I hope everyones friends and relatives are all OK.
