I don’t believe in god but there is a hire power but it not from this earth. If you think we are the only one in this big space of the galaxy or universe your just stupid and you have a shallow mind.

I don’t care how large an island seems to be when you are standing in the middle of it..ex. (Hawaii) It is still an Island !! I often wonder over the millenia how many Islands that at one time were huge and habitable are now hidden under the waves somewhere. With that many earthquakes happening in Christchurch, I would be relocating…Fast !! Wouldn’t you??

Watching a broadcast about the evolutionary origins of the Kiwi and geological history of NZ brought me to this site, where I was pleasantly surprised to read that yours is a region populated by HSs that are overwhelmingly not infected by those I regard as the “willfully ignorant” (free educational opps here are overwhelmingly numerous yet most citizens are far too intellectually lazy to embrace, take advantage of or sustain). Now, I find myself wondering, how difficult it is to establish NZ residency? Best regards! DD

“…But he said the earthquake hit central Christchurch with more than twice the intensity of the larger magnitude 7.1 but deeper-seated quake of September 4.

He said Tuesday’s quake was of a force statistically unlikely to occur more than once in 1000 years and produced ground acceleration 1.5 to 1.8 times greater than modern buildings were designed to withstand.”

The only effective way of detecting people under the rubble – it’s infrared camera of a military helicopter.

Quality infrared cameras mounted also on fighters, but the possibility of detection of small objects is limited by the speed of aircraft.

Ð?nly amphibious military hovercraft can travel on the destroyed roads and deliver food and medicines and to evacuate large groups of people.

Рike riddle: that from this list will be used in New Zealand?
