Crews work through night to free people after 6.3 magnitude quake, New Zealand's worst natural disaster in 80 years.
Rescuers worked through the night to reach people trapped in shattered buildings after a powerful earthquake struck Christchurch, New Zealand, killing at least 65 people.
The 6.3-magnitude quake struck at lunchtime, when streets and shops in New Zealand's second largest city were packed and offices were occupied. Christchurch was hit last September by a 7.1 magnitude quake that damaged buildings but caused no deaths. This time the quake was deadly.
