Original article here.

A powerful earthquake struck Christchurch this morning, New Zealand's second largest city. This forced the government to declare a state of emergency in the city. There was structural damage to the buildings besides ruptured water and sewerage, collapsed buildings and cuts to electricity supplies. Despite this, only two men in their 50s were seriously injured. One was hit by a falling chimney and the other was cut by a falling glass. Besides that, there are possibilities of looting especially from damaged shops. No tsunami warnings were issued and roads are being packed by cars moving inland from the seaside. Christchurch International Airport and rail movement in the South Island has been closed and stopped respectively.
