Monday 5 February: Christchurch - 185 Empty Chairs

The greatest single loss of life in the earthquake took place in the CTV Building.  This housed Canterbury Television plus a language school for foreign students, a clinic and a nursing school.

115 of the total of 185 victims died in this one building and the site now houses a temporary memorial called The 185 Empty Chairs, one for each death in the earthquake.
