WHAT IS COLLAPSE?

On February 22, 2011, a devastating earthquake shook Christchurch, killing 185 people. One hundred and fifteen of those people were in the CTV building - a structure that should never have been built.

In the 10 years since the disaster, serious flaws have been exposed in the design, construction and inspection of the CTV building. No-one has been held accountable for those errors.
