“This was an insightful podcast delving into the collapse of the CTV building in Christchurch after an earthquake in 2011. It was interesting to hear from various people - rescuers, survivors and the families and friends of those who died. We also hear about why the building collapsed.”

“This is a shocking story which fits the mould of a classical Greek tragedy, although sadly all the hubris isn’t quite balanced out by adequate nemesis. It would be nice to look forward to a sequel that describes the comeuppances we seem to lack in the modern world, but I’m not holding my breath.”
