Video shows extent of cathedral damage…

New Cera video underlines need to demolish Christchurch cathedral.

The outcry that greeted the decision to demolish the earthquake-damaged Christchurch cathedral is, of course, understandable. Through a series of devastating quakes and aftershocks, the city has witnessed first-hand a loss of life, a loss of of homes and a loss of infrastructure. And for many, the cathedral stood as a beacon of faith and resilience.

But as this new Cera video shows in graphic detail, countless tremors have truly taken their toll on the building, making it both appropriate and yet challenging to demolish. Our thanks to Lawrence Roberts at the AvonsideChCh blog for bringing this to our attention.
