- Description
A seismologist stares at earthquake graphs and is horrified to discover that he may have been wrong about the Wellington earthquake being less of a risk. His colleague who is watching a rugby game on TV tells him he can relax, that the ramped up graph squiggles are just Brad Thorn tackling Rocky Elsom at the 'cake tin'. Refers to a study by GNS Science costing $3.5 million that has found the risk of Wellington being flattened by a major earthquake is dramatically less than it was. It says the fault running through the city is 50% less likely to rupture in the next 100 years than was previously thought. And also refers to the ALL BLACKS v WALLABIES game at the Wellington Westpac Stadium on 19th September, 2009.
