About 20 days before the Japanese earthquake happened, also they had a big earthquake, and many Japanese students were also killed, and the most important cathedral of the city, the symbol of Christchurch, was totally destroyed.
Nagyjából 20 nappal a japán földrengés előtt, ott is volt egy nagy földrengés, melyben sok japán diák is odaveszett, de a város legfontosabb katedrálisa, Christchurch szimbóluma szintén megsemmisült.
