Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) — A magnitude 6.3 earthquake rocked the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch, toppling buildings, ripping apart sidewalks and sending residents into the streets during the strongest aftershock since September. Television footage showed office workers fleeing during their lunchtime break into streets covered in shattered glass, paper, bricks and concrete. Emergency workers carried injured and bloodied city residents to safety. Multiple fatalities have been reported and the center of the South Island city is being evacuated, New Zealand police said in a statement. The five kilometer-deep quake, which struck at 12:51 p.m. local time, brought down parts of buildings in the center of New Zealand’s second-largest city, including the cathedral. Two buses were crushed by falling buildings, police said. People are trapped under rubble and some buildings are on fire. The quake is the largest since September when the city was rocked by the country’s worst temblor in 80 years. The quake was centered 10 kilometers south-east of Christchurch, according to geonet.org.nz. Prime Minister John Key called an emergency Cabinet meeting and will travel to Christchurch today, he told the nation’s parliament. Buildings around the city’s central square, including the cathedral, have been damaged and some have collapsed completely. Sirens blared throughout the city.The city’s airport has been closed with all flights canceled or diverted, according to its website. Christchurch was hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on Sept. 4. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand estimates the September temblor caused NZ$5 billion ($3.78 billion) of damage. The cost of protecting New Zealand sovereign bonds from default rose the most in almost three months, to 5 basis points from 66 basis points as of 2:06 p.m. in Wellington, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. prices. That’s on course for the biggest increase since Nov. 30, prices from data provider CMA 

Теперь принято считать что самоубийства китов происходят часто и это нормальное явление?)

Скоро будут говорить что животные теперь умирают часто но это нормально, потомучто продолжается давно и все привыкли)
