Remembering the 2011 Christchurch earthquake
   
Tonight we're remembering the 2011 Christchurch earthquake 10 years ago today. The 6.2 magnitude quake was an aftershock of the earlier 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4 2010. The quake struck at 12.51pm on 22 February. It took the lives of 185 people. Karyn speaks with three people who remember the day clearly.
