…glad to see it coming down it was chch’s ugliest building for sure…lets hope the people in charge of designing our new chch have a bit more taste…..that post/column and slab construction will aways fail on soft ground,even worse when it gets banged up from underneath and falls at twice the speed of gravity.

I agree with you, it is a very ugly building. Sad to see it has to come down in this fashion though. I too hope to see much more attractive buildings in its place.
