STUDENTS from across Asia are feared among the dead in an office building that collapsed in New Zealand's earthquake, with police saying yesterday that they were "100 percent certain" no one trapped in the rubble was alive.
Survivors of the collapse at the Canterbury Television building described a scene "like out of a horror movie" and said they were worried about dozens of friends and colleagues whose fate was still unclear.
"As we were eating lunch, there was a major shaking, and suddenly the floor fell," 19-year-old Kento Okuda told Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper. Okuda was studying at King's Education language school inside the building along with more than a dozen other Japanese.
"Everyone around me was saying things like 'It hurts' as they fell downward," he said. "And then I realized I was in total darkness, with my right leg pinned by something so I couldn't move."
Rescuers had to cut off his leg to free him.
