A grim reminder - just as if time had stood still items remaining where they fell the moment the earthquake struck.
A large number of deaths and casualties were reported, along with significant damage to buildings and infrastructure, as a result of the 22 February 2011 aftershock. Although smaller in magnitude than the 2010 quake, the Febuary 2011 event was more damaging and deadly for a number of reasons including - the epicentre was closer to Christchurch, and shallower just 5 kilometres underground compared to 10 km and the epicentre 48 km away in the September 2010 earthquake.
