Demolition list highlights grim reality of quake aftermath…

New Zealand officials publish detailed list of buildings set to fall in post-quake clean-up.

While demolition contractors from within and without quake-torn Christchurch manoeuvre behind closed doors to secure a slice of the growing post-quake demolition pie, a new list of buildings to be fully or partially demolished in the city brings into sharp focus the true extent of the damage wrought by the February earthquake.

Even the toughest of hard-nosed demolition men will realise that their labours are set to change irrevocably the city skyline and landscape.

The necessity of these demolitions will be of scant consolation to residents and property owners in the area.

The full list (to date) can be found here.
