The Prime Minister called it "New Zealand's darkest day". Three years on, most of the city centre is still in ruins. "Christchurch was such a beautiful place. Look at it now, it's like a war zone", a Christchurch resident says. For many, attempts to move on with their lives are proving difficult. Lots have found that the answer is to move away from the city. "It's a city for people that are ready to move forward and want something new and bright. That's not really me right now", a Christchurch survivor explains.
