What are you on Dan Dunn; some of these buildings were NOT heritage buldings, they were relatively new and were not even damaged in the first quake. You can't predict an earthquake let alone the type and way that it occurs. A building is going to fall over no mater what if the earth moves 2m under it!! If you had your way i guess every building in every city should be max 1 storey, made of rubber so that it didn't fall down no matter what type of earthquake!

Thank you TV3 for providing factual news and treating your interviewees with tact and respect unlike another Channel who seem intent on asking extremely personal and cringe questions We are not an American audience and feel strong allegience to our poor Cantabrians from all over the country
Your coverage has been extremely professional and informative

I'm totally bamboosaled at the reasons why so many have died in this quake!
The NZ Government, C.C.C. and EQC have a lot to answer for!
All the time and money that has been spent on getting the CHCH tram service up and running for the rugby world cup when the money should have gone on demolishing all those buildings affected by the ...previous quakes!
LIES LIES LIES!
This government and Council only have the finances of the city on thier mind! What the hell is a bit of fencing meant to do when a building falls on a bus in the middle of the road past the fence.
There is no way that we should have been allowed to go back into the city after the 7.1 or the 4.3. We should have had all dangerous buildings taken down first!
Heritige buildings or not! Human life is far more valuable than a boxing day sale, or any old buildings! Take a photo and write it down! It'll last longer!

This has definately changed my attitude towards life. People are more important than buildings.
