After the quake

It's been 3 days after magnitude 7.1 earthquake took place in Christchurch, New Zealand, and still, no one has reported dead due to the quake directly, only 2 seriously injured. This is not not only a piece of serious natural disasterous news, it's also an amazing news. I can't imagine if that size of earthquake took place in China or other developing countries and what would be the death toll. There have been a lot of lucky escapes though.
