New Zealand earthquake leaves at least 65 dead


A powerful earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand, Tuesday morning, killing at least 65 people. More than 100 people are believed to still be trapped in the rubble.

It is the second strong earthquake to hit New Zealand’s southern island in 6 months.

The spire of Christchurch cathedral toppled into a central square, and several other buildings collapsed.

After surveying the damage, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said the country may be seeing its darkest day.
