In the centre of Christchurch city stands the Christ Church Cathedral. It is situated in Cathedral Square, which is in the middle of our CBD.
In the earthquake on February 22nd 2011, it was damaged severely. The spire completely caved in. People were inside the cathedral when it was damaged, but luckily, everyone escaped. Initially it was thought that up to 20 people were inside the spire when it collapsed, but luckily the USAR (Urban Search and Rescue) found no one inside. In the picture below, you can see the damage to Christchurch's daily newspaper offices of The Press.
