138Share 5diggsdigg email share A strong earthquake that hit Christchurch, New Zealand on September 4 was one of the worst to hit New Zealand in 80 years. No deaths have been reported, but the earthquake caused devastation throughout the region of Canterbury. Flickr has put up a special page with some of the best user images of the earthquake, which show great damage on the buildings and structures in Christchurch. In addition, Google Earth Blog has posted a neat Google Earthvisualization which uses data from Geonet. To see it, you must install Google Earth, download this KMZ file, and click the "play" button in the upper-left corner. For more images of the Christchurch earthquake try this search on Flickr. Update: Our reader Scott sent us this visualization of the earthquake which uses Google Maps and works entirely in the browser.
