um, Canterbury Television House.
And I just looked at that, and I thought,
'God, that's the building Susan's in. '
What I just knew at that point was I
needed to get back to Christchurch.
We were then told
Christchurch Airport was closed
to all flights, uh,
other than emergency flights.
Oh my God!
Get out of the way!
The Pyne-That's the
Pyne Gould building.
People yelling!
You can hear people
screaming up there.
There's another shock. Move
back. Just keep away from the edge.
Everybody back!
Away from the building!
Everybody back!
We were given a tasking to go round to the
PGC building to, um, take some medications.
I guess you're wondering how you're
gonna brace yourself when you see, um,
some people that have got crush
injuries or have been crushed,
and there was a likelihood
we were gonna see them.
You'd-You'd see the building as
a whole is a-is a damaged building.
And if you look closely, it's like one of those
pictures; you can see something in the background.
And then you started to see people that were still
trapped, um, obviously dead, still in the rubble.
You see limbs hanging out; you
can make out faces in the rubble.
And that was probably the-the most sobering thing,
knowing that people had gone about their daily lives,
and all of a sudden,

There's firepeople, a lot of police and, um, I
guess you could say, just construction workers.
Ultimately our-they were our rescue guys at the time,
um, having the best knowledge of a building site.
Get into Pyne Gould Guinness, there's
people dying everywhere, and it's a mess.
No one knows what they're doing.
There are more than 30 trapped.
My expectations were that I would
get there and help to move rubble.
I had no expectation that we'd
be involved in a full rescue.
There was someone holding a ladder, and I
assumed my job would be to hold a ladder.
minutes, expecting someone to...
tell us what to do, and Tony and I just
looked at each other and put our hard hats on
and climbed up the ladder,
and...
And the first I ever got, there
was a guy caught under-his left shoulder -
a major beam had come down.
There was a medic there,
and the guy was on a drip.
And I was just watching
the medic's body language,
and, uh, I was just looking into the guy's face,
and I wasn't speaking, but I was just... reassuring,
in my mind, everything's gonna be all right; we're
gonna get him out. He had one more shot of morphine.
He looked at me,
and then he was gone,
and I was, like,...
'I got it wrong. I misinterpreted
