Here is an update on the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Los Angeles fire Dept. (not sure if it is County, City or a combination of the fire depts.) is supposed to be on their way to Christchurch, but as of yet, they have not arrived.
From stuff.co: The death toll from the Christchurch earthquake could rise as high as 200 after police confirmed up to 120 people are feared dead at the Canterbury TV building site.
Police believe there are a further 22 bodies inside Christchurch's Cathedral Square.
They said 238 people were missing after Tuesday's 6.3 magnitude earthquake although some may have already left Christchurch before the disaster. The official death toll stands at 76.

Canterbury district commander Superintendent Dave Cliff said the number of bodies thought to be in the CTV building ranged from "the high 60s'' to 120 and several more bodies were known to be in the Pyne Gould Corporation building, where the operation was now also a "recovery" one.
The number of bodies in the temporary morgue was growing all the time.
"The vast bulk of those people have been hauled out of the wreckage within the central city, but not all. There are more bodies being recovered as we speak, and that number is growing. When I go back [to the morgue], I'm expecting there to be more," Cliff said.
"There are some locations, very sadly, where buses and cars have been crushed and we're in the process of systematically going through those and looking for anyone who could be within them.''
Police were likely to release a list of the missing, along with identifying a limited number of those confirmed dead, at 4pm.
Cliff urged anyone who was on the list, but who was safe and well, to contact the 0800 RED CROSS line.
It was vital that police had an accurate and up to date list of people who were missing so they could focus the ongoing search and rescue effort.
Cliff said efforts elsewhere were still focused on looking for survivors.
"This is very much an operation around rescue. We're looking for the living.''...

United States President Barack Obama has told John Key the US is ready to provide any further help needed in the earthquake recovery effort.
Key and Obama spoke on the phone for about five minutes just before midday in a conversation requested by the US leader.
"The President asked about ongoing aftershocks and reiterated that the United States stood ready to provide further help, should New Zealand need it," a spokesman for Key said. ...

Teams of foreign rescue workers continue to arrive in Christchurch.
The latest details on foreign assistance have just been released by Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully.
From Australia: Two urban search and rescue teams totalling 142 personnel (72 NSW and 70 Queensland) and three dogs. A disaster medical assistance team comprising 23 emergency and surgical personnel.
From Japan: Urban search and rescue team of 67 personnel with three dogs arrived 4:00am today.
From Taiwan: An urban search and rescue team of 24 personnel with two dogs arrived 12midnight 23 February.
From Singapore: The first part of an urban search and rescue team totalling 55 personnel with four dogs has arrived. In addition, 116 Singaporean Defence Force Personnel who were already in New Zealand are now helping with the security cordon around the Christchurch CBD.
From the UK: Six Fire Service search and rescue experts have arrived. This is the advance party of an urban search and rescue team totalling 55 personnel.
Arriving today:
From Singapore: The remainder of its urban search and rescue team is expected to arrive later today. In addition, Singapore's two C130 aircraft carrying the second urban search and rescue team may also be available to transport people from Christchurch to Auckland if required.
From Australia: A field hospital providing 75 beds is due to arrive this afternoon.
Arriving tomorrow:
From the US: An urban search and rescue team of 80 personnel plus 40 tonnes of equipment is due to arrive at 1:00am 25 February.

It would be nice if the U.S. had given more medical supplies and had a naval ship or three heading to Christchurch to provide aid as necessary. Most other presidents have done that previously. But it is also possible that New Zealand has declined an offer- they are a hardy bunch.
So, good luck to New Zealand. You are handling the crisis far better than the people in New Orleans when Katrina struck.
Historical and Scientific reality now in play
ReplyDeleteJuly 22, 1973 USA Senate passes resolution S.71 calling on US government to “seek the agreement of other governments to a proposed treaty prohibiting the use of any geophysical modification as a weapon of war. The third activity listed was “any earthquake modification activity which has a purpose, or has one of its principal effects, the release ot the strain energy instability with the solid rock layers beneath the Earth’s crust.” Bulletin of Atomic Scientists May 1976
1975 USA Senator Claiborne Pell, stated that: "We need a treaty now...before the military leaders of the world start directing storms, manipulating climates and inducing earthquakes against their enemies." http://members.iimetro.com.au/~hubbca/geo_science.htm
June 5, 1977, New York Times described the great earthquake which destroyed Tangshan, China on July 28, 1976, and killed over 650,000 people.
Just before the first tremor at 3:42 am, the sky lit up like daylight. The multi-hued lights, mainly white and red, were seen up to 200 miles away. Leaves on many trees were burned to a crisp and growing vegetables were scorched on one side, as if by a fireball.
Jan 1978, Dr. Andrija Puharich, MD, LL.D, issued a detailed research paper entitled 'Global Magnetic Warfare - A Layman's View of Certain Artificially Induced Unusual Effects on The Planet Earth During 1976 and 1977.' In his paper, Dr. Puharich stated, "Of the many great earthquakes of 1976, there is one that demands special attention - the July 28, 1976 Tangshan, China earthquake."
Jan 1978 edition of Specula magazine ran an article which described an incredibly profound phenomenon that could be produced within the Earth by what is called the 'Tesla Effect.' According to the article, electromagnetic signals of certain frequencies can be transmitted through the Earth to form standing waves in the Earth itself. In certain cases, coherence to this standing wave can be induced wherein a fraction of the vast, surging electromagnetic current of the Earth itself feeds into and augments the induced standing wave. In other words, "much more energy is now present in the standing wave that the ...amount being fed in from the Earth's surface." By interferometer techniques, giant standing waves can be combined to produce a focused beam of very great energy. This can the be used to produce earthquakes induced at distant aiming points.
April 1997 USA Secretary of Defense William Cohen stated at a counter-terrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn
"Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves... So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations...It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our ef " [what other countries!]
