Description

We had around 24 cans of diet coke in the top of the fridge when the devastating 6.1 earthquake hit Christchurch in New Zealand. The shaking caused one of the front feet of the fridge to fold, which made the fridge tip forward and causing the door to open. After all the shaking the cans had already when they flew out and hit the ground a lot of them exploded. These two cans show the explosive pressure that occurred best.

Crickey. Scary stuff. I once experience an earthquake in the UK. But, it wasn't as strong, as what you get in other countries, on the rickta scale. Great picture, to document the moment! Liked and favourited!
