    One more step forward in the fight for justice for families of those lost in the 2011 Christchurch' quake

    One more step forward in the fight for justice for families of those lost in the 2011 Christchurch' quake



    The mayor has made a formal apology to families of the one-hundred-and-85 people who died in the magnitude 6.3 earthquake nine years ago.

    Maysoon Abbas was one of the 115 who died in the CTV building collapse.

    Her husband, Maan Alkaisi, says it's important the city council's admitted the building design was wrong and shouldn't have been permitted.
