    Hmmm...  Had some trouble with that URL and didn't get to see it.

    A member of another list was in Christchurch when the earthquake struck.
He was on the sixth or so floor of an office building on the square.  He got
to watch the church steeple collapse and fall into the street below.
Immediately after that, the building next to his collapsed and ended up
leaning against his.  With the elevators out of order, everyone went down
the stairs and into the street.
