Christchurch tourists urged: Please phone home

Sunday, 25 Feb, 2011 0

Search and rescue teams who have lowered a camera into the main part of ChristChurch Cathedral say there are no signs of life.

Rescue workers have begun the grim task of removing bodies from the cathedral this morning.

Up to 22 people are believed to have been buried in the rubble of the cathedral after the spire toppled in Tuesday’s 6.3 magnitude quake.

Rescue experts said stone and rubble was filling the building up to a height of around 20 metres.

“We put a camera in before but there was nothing. No sound, nothing,” a rescuer said.

The Christchurch quake death toll rose to 113 this morning.

Police have urged tourists to phone home so they can determine if anyone should be struck off the missing list.

Superintendent Dave Cliff said many of those on the list of 228 missing were tourists whose families were worried about their welfare.

“Please phone home, let your loved ones know where you are,” he said.
