There are some pretty graphic descriptions from those right at the 
heart of this on the Firetrust forum - 
http://forum.firetrust.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9597
Read the later pages of this thread, where members of the staff relate 
their stories, makes you think.

Firetrust are the company who produce the Mailwasher spam filtering 
software. There offices were just round the corner from the TV building 
that collapsed, and their offices were between two other office blocks 
which collapsed. Too close for comfort!

Fortunately the UK is not in an earthquake zone. We were concerned for 
a couple from our church who are on a world tour at the moment, 
fortunately they were on North Island at the time so away from it.
