1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello, Matt Markham, wanting work. How are we reflecting on

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years since the christ Church earthquake? Where were you

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: christ Church?

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: Working for the christ Church Press. I was actually the

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: horse sale in the Riding for the Disabled arena at

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: the christ Roache Shrogrounds, which incidentally was built as an

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: earthquake shelter. Would you believe that?

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, what about the horses?

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: No, they were fine. The sale actually continued incredibly of course. Yeah,

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: well no one was really aware of just how bad

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: it was, only a couple of kilter away. Really, there

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: was no self phone coverage obviously to find out what

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: was going on, and so they pressed off, which was

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: quite remarkable. But yeah, the days after, the weeks after

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: certainly burned in the memory. As well. Being part of

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: that christ Each Press team, we still managed to put

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: a paper out the next day. I don't know how.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: The team all met in Latimer Square and set around

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: a few laptops and put a paper together and we

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: got there to out the next morning. And he from

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: then on there was that many stories to tell that

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,959
Speaker 2: we feel the pages.

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 1: For months, and that many images to share too. Certainly

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: got an appreciation sitting down a good point you make

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: there because I happened to find myself right in the

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: center of the city. Was studying at the Broadcasting School

27
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: at CPID what is are and now at the time,

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: and it was O week for us, so we just

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: got back on campus before one o'clock class was due

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: to start, and I remember looking up and seeing that

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: big tall nursing building just swaying side to side, and

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: there was somebody on stilts. The poor clown on stilts

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: because of that week when it struck, so he threw

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: himself onto the grass bank and there was dust and

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: there was a bit of panic, obviously, but at the

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: same time we sort of took stock and went, okay, well,

37
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: we're all right. It wasn't until you got home that

38
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: night and switched on the news that you've really got

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: an appreciation that, wow, this is bad.

40
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's exactly it was. It was tricky

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 2: to the side for in your own mind just exactly

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: what was going on. It wasn't until I drove back

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: and I was slating on Fitzgerald Air at the time,

44
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 2: and I think it took me two and a half

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: hours from the showgrounds to get to Fitzgerald Air. Took

46
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: the way the roads were in the traffic. So yeah,

47
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: certainly some everlasting memories and stories to be told of

48
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: we you were on the day that crossed its shot,

49
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: that's for sure.

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, your was welcome on the hawknit wey Ashburton facebook page.

51
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Of course. The quake also the reason for the temporary

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: ended up being about two decades worth. The temporary Apollo

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Projects Stadium in Eddington, which is where the Crusaders were

54
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: yesterday for one of the last games before the new

55
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: Takaha opens in about a month's time. Geesh, I can't imagine, well,

56
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I can imagine that there's a fear few people who

57
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: would have taken a hit on their rugby picks yesterday.

58
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: Were we that bad or were the Brumbies that good?

59
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: A bit of a combination of both. I think there's

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: no doubt the Crusaders has got some ground to make

61
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: up and stuff that should be easy fixes because it's

62
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: just pure rugby mistakes that are costing them at the moment.

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Canning area is a little bit of ill discipline. But

64
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: they're just not quite going as a team yet either.

65
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: There's just not that fluidness that we saw last year

66
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: when they won the title. They're not stringing the phases

67
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: together in the way they did. A lot of their

68
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: points that they scored yesterday, I felt were garnered by

69
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: individual efforts more so than team efforts are less defying

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: in Nuku made obviously a big difference when he come on.

71
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, Rob Penny will be sweeting on the brow bet.

72
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: I would imagine walking into work this morning being zero

73
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: and two. And it doesn't get any easier either, because

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: who's in waiting this week. The Chiefs, off the back

75
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: of their down went over the Highlanders on Saturday night.

76
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: That was a great game.

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I righty, Oh, it's a very tough start to the season.

78
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, on the road to the Chiefs and then

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: the Blues and then we host the Highlanders again at

80
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: home the week after that.

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: Yes, so no easy games coming up the way things

82
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: are unfolding. The Blues were obviously pretty tidy on the

83
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: weekend as well, so yeah, they're going to have to

84
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: turn things around and turn things around pretty sharply the

85
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Crusaders if they want to get this title defense back

86
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: on track, and there'll be some pretty hard questions being

87
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: asked of each other. I would imagine this morning team

88
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: made it.

89
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Super quick, No doubt you would have seen that spectacular

90
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: own goal from the Phoenix on SID Day.

91
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a bizarre game of support that was. And

92
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: then obviously to see the coach throw the tail and

93
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: then then maybe it after me after the game. Chief.

94
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: Football is growing in this country though, Yeah, great crowds

95
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: and attendance for that derby match and yeah, well the

96
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: way Auckland are going there might be some broad times

97
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: ahead for football fans, which is good
