2 Minutes Silence 3:51pm Monday (PST)

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key asked that all New Zealanders observe a two minute silence for the victims of the devastating 6.3 magnitude quake. "This may be New Zealand's single most tragic event. I am calling on New Zealanders to stop and remember those who have lost their lives, those who are missing and the hundreds of people who are mourning family and friends. At 12.51pm this Tuesday, the 1st of March, I am asking that New Zealand stops for two minutes as a sign of unity for the people of Canterbury who are enduring a tragedy beyond what most of us can imagine."
