By chance I was driving past earlier today and noticed they had just started demolishing the Eastern end of the old train station building. (also occupied by Science Alive and Hoyts cinemas at the time of the Feb 22nd, 2011 EQ). I was able to pass by again about 45 minutes later and got this footage, with my back-up camera, no tripod on me at the time, sorry, (my old video tutor, always said "use a tripod ") The best vantage point I could get was perched on a railing holding onto a piece of security fence :) Part 1 of 2, I have some more footage which I have uploaded, called part 2, which shows demo going on at the rear, and if I'm not mistaken, my actual old classroom. Filmed from publically accessable areas along by Gasson St and Moorhouse Avenue, Christchurch, New Zealand, 12:26 pm Friday 10 August 2012
