Few who were in Christchurch will ever forget that day five years ago when a magnitude-6.3 earthquake struck the city, killing 185 people, injuring thousands more.

Of the victims, 115 died in the collapse of the CTV building and 18 in PGC House. Eight passengers of a Red Bus died on Colombo St under falling masonry. Another 28 died in the city centre and 12 in outer suburbs.

More than 200 people suffered significant injuries and some 7000 were treated for minor injuries.

Iain McGregorFalling bricks and masonry killed a number of people and destroyed vehicles.

Fairfax photographers were on the street on that dreadful day, and the Wednesday which followed to document the damage and the rescue efforts. See a selection of their pictures here.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities.
