Aerial footage of the Christchurch central city, taken in April 2011, several months after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The video shows damage to the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Manchester Street, the Press building, the Octagon Live restaurant, St Elmo Courts, Cashel Mall, the Regent Theatre, the Arts Centre, Woolsack Lane, and the Farmers Building car park. It also shows USAR members meeting in Cathedral Square.
Text across the top of the cartoon reads 'Greener pastures for red zone residents?... A new subdivision named 'Quakehaven' has streets named 'Wobble Way', 'Poopong Parade', 'Turd Tce.', 'Liquefaction Lane' etc. One of a couple visiting the new area says 'I've got a bad feeling about this new subdivision!' Context - Housing after the Christchurch earthquakes. After the first Land Report was delivered on 23rd June people whose houses were in the Red Zone had their properties bought up by the government and now have to move to new subdivisions. The suggestion in the cartoon is that the subdivisions may not be on safe ground. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
