The photographer comments, "The front of the old Princess Cinema in New Brighton after the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand on 22 February. Under the pile of bricks is a luckily unoccupied blue car. The word CLEAR on the broken facade is to show that there is no one in the car. This building has now been knocked down as it was so dangerous".
Damage to TJ's Kazbah in New Brighton. The tower and east end of the building have collapsed onto two parked cars.

The damaged cars were removed before the digger demolished the building".
