  • Quake special - Spirit of survival (8:15)

It was 4:35am and the city of Christchurch slept. Then began the rumbling, growing in intensity and the world started heaving sideways.

The aftershocks rolled, as did the emotional impact from the near-death experiences.

Sunday's Ian Sinclair has this report on the spirit of survival in Christchurch.
