Christchurch, broken and slowly recovering from last September's huge earthquake, was smashed again today, another major quake shattering the city - and killing at least 65 people.
Ministry of Civil Defence director John Hamilton announced at 6pm, that at least 17 people had died in the quake and he said he expected the tally to rise. Minutes later Prime Minister John Key said he had been advised 65 people were confirmed dead.
``This could be our darkest day,'' he said on TV One.
Today's 6.3 magnitude jolt at 12.51pm shook buildings down, including the famous city-centre cathedral, and caused widespread devastation, death and injury.
Earlier the police had reported ``multiple fatalities'' at several locations in the downtown area including two buses crushed by falling buildings.
Civil Defence Minister John Carter announced this afternoon that hospitals were facing the possibility that hundreds of people could have been injured.
Hospitals in other South Island cities and towns were discharging patients to make room for injured quake survivors and out-of-town ambulances were reported flooding into Christchurch to help harried local medical teams.
Rescue squads were also heading for the stricken city in the face of reports of people trapped in crumpled buildings, some of them high-rise.
The Pyne Gould Guinness building collapsed, with at least 30 people said to be trapped in the rubble.
The earthquake shook the city at 12.51pm while streets were crowed with shoppers and office workers.
