A video showing part of the demolition of the Ozone Hotel in New Brighton. Steve Taylor comments "She put up a good fight. The Ozone in New Brighton was damaged in the February earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. Here is the main corner of the structure being, as they say, deconstructed. At the end there is a reverent bow by the excavator. Just before this the claw had caught on the floor/ceiling and the whole building shook from side to side, but it still stayed in place."
A video capturing an aftershock from the Canterbury earthquake on 22 February 2011, 1:04pm. After the 6.3 magnitude earthquake at 12:51pm, Ben Post set up his camera on a tripod and left it running. The movement of the water in the fish tank during the quake suggests that the shaking is up and down. The camera also shows this effect; due to the lightweight material of the tripod, the camera is shaken about more than the surroundings.
The damaged Knox Church on Bealey Avenue. Bricks have fallen from the walls, exposing the wooden beams. The photographer comments, "You can now see how the old churches were constructed".
A digitally manipulated image of a damaged bridge in Lake Terrace Road in Burwood. The photographer comments, "After the September earthquake this bridge was a little wonky, but you would cross it, possibly without fear, now though it is too far gone".
A large crack between a row of trees and the riverbank. A fence lining the riverbank has collapsed. The photographer comments, "On the 22 February 2011 we had an earthquake in Christchurch, which ripped us apart literally. This is what happened to the riverbank at New Brighton. Some trees stayed in place and others dropped 2 feet. The amazing thing was that they all stayed upright".
The damaged Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. In the foreground is a vehicle that has been partly crushed by the collapse of the corner of the building.
A damaged bridge in Lake Terrace Road in Burwood. The bridge has warped, and the pathway leading to it is badly cracked.
