As a long term Christchurch resident, I thank you for an plain explanation given in this video. 2011 is still raw in our memories.

I'll always remember this day, i use to work at Bailies, an Irish bar/restaurant on the bottom floor of the Warners building which you see to the left of the press building at the start of the video. I wasn't meant to be working that day but wanted to go into work and give the kitchen a good cleaning, from top to bottom, all walls etc., I loved my job and where I worked. I was the only male working at the time, had a female staff member come into the kitchen and ask me if I could change a light bulb in the male's toilet, as I was going through the kitchen door into the bar that's when the earthquake hit. I just made a straight line for the door and got outside, was just so much shock and panic happening at the time. as I got outside, I seen the cathedral across the road fall to the ground which will forever be in my memory. took me over 8 hours to get home, which would have normally been about a 25min bus ride. took me 10 years to finally move back to the city, is a lot to still be done but the place has definitely come a very long way.

I forget what the city used to look like sometimes. Like many thousands, I left. For almost a decade. Although the city still hasn't totally recovered, it's modern rebuilds look incredible. I just hope the lessons learned will not be forgotten.

The real tragedy is that the design engineer of that building faked his credentials and was never brought to justice.

Its easy to blame someone years later with computer simulations and updated design standards. But its hard to imagine something like this mode of failure in 1986. I got no love for the design engineer. But the real question is how many more modes of failure are out there, which we may pick up 40 years from now and can happen?.

@@navalfa7291 The engineer HOAXED HIS CREDENTIALS and then ran away showing no remorse. My home is over 50 years old and is still standing despite being right in the line of fire. Victorian/Edwardian buildings in the CBD withstood the quake. This building collapsed like a house of cards because the arrogant sociopath who designed it faked specialist knowledge and insisted that his design was strong enough for the job. As a result, hundreds died and he simply ran away like the coward he is.

Clicked for the quake stuff and was delighted to see a hometown incident in this episode! From an engineering standpoint, the esker north-east of Winnipeg would have been a much better place to build a city. The actual site is down on a floodplain that offers deep alluvial sediments and no bedrock. Bonus: it's so flood-prone that the diversion that was built to protect it was the second-largest earth-moving project in the world at the time (beating out everything but the Panama Canal).

In New Zealand we hardly ever bring people to proper justice, and if we do, most probably the wrong person. I don't know why but if I remember correctly everything to do with the public knowing the truth was delayed and obfuscated for a long time. Any unsafe structure from September 2010 owners were given years to fix voluntarily, and of course when February 2011 came, a lot of that came down and killed people, e.g. store front canopies/verandahs over footpaths landing on pedestrians. Some good people fought a hard battle for justice, but the good old New Zealand system did what it was designed for, nothing. A number of people stay in my mind. A lady Professor, who survived, where others around her didn't. She was an expert in things related. I'd always read her published articles. I don't think she got treated well. Also, for want of a better description is this age, Asian man maybe, Indian. Sorry. He lost his wife in the quake. He did her proud by battling for years for a fair shake of justice. So much I don't remember. PGC Building or whatever its name was. I worked in a factory designed by the Reay chap. If you don't know what you are looking for, you don't realise how much damage there is. The repairs were extensive and then the strengthening. It was the persistent aftershocks that started wearing me down. Thanks for the attention.

The sad part is there was warnings and a documentary made in the 90’s that was ignored.

@magdalena_dewinter Месяц назад

as a resident of christchurch, our city is still recovering, but those responsible for the CTV collapse have never, and most likely will never face justice for their abysmally underplayed architecture.

@25784lazza 2 месяца назад

What is horrifying is this incident occurred due to a fraud perpetrated by the "engineer" that designed this building. Worse still this fake engineer was never charged.

As much as there is fair criticism of the CTV building designer, the building did it's job and didn't fail from magnitude 7 earthquake, the previous year. The fact that the building was structurally compromised and yet was still occupied for February 22nd 2011, concerns me more.

@foobarf8766 2 месяца назад

The ground accelerations were up to 2.2G at 4hz. I could not stand had to hold on. And the 'CTV story' keeps repeating with dodgy sign offs as recently as this year.

The structure of many building's, was weakened during the September 7.1 2010, which caused many to collapse during the February 6.3, 2011

That building should not have been built, and it should not have been left standing after the mid 90s. Early 1990s, Chch City Council were looking to buy that building, for the use of one of their departments. Their OWN building engineers stated outright NOT to buy it, as there was serious structural issues with it. The OWN city d..n council K N E W. over a decade beforehand, that there was an issue with it. Still didn't do ANYTHING to fix it. 115 people - old & young, from all corners of the planet, at least 1/2 of which had only been in the country less than 48hrs - died completely unnessesarily that day. The current owner of that building also knew it had sustained some quake damage. All of their tenants where complaining - in the 5 months after the 7.1 September quake, of how the building was moving almost violently, with every aftershock, and traffic passing by. Noone has been officially charged, in relation to that building, since.

I will say, the February 22nd earthquake wasn’t an aftershock. It was a different fault line

@turtlesoul Месяц назад

Was set off by the greendale fault, and both faults are connected, it's just that the scientists aren't 100% where the link part is located.
