A 6.3 magnitude earthquake rocked New Zealand on Tuesday, causing widespread damage and killing at least 75 people in one of the country's worst natural disasters.
The earthquake struck Christchurch, the country's second largest city, around lunchtime when offices were occupied and stores and streets were bustling with people.
Rescuers frantically scrambled to find hundreds people who were thought to be still trapped in the debris as darkness fell on the city Tuesday night. Dazed, screaming and crying residents were seen wandering through the streets.
