NZEALAND-JAPAN-QUAKE-SCHOOL-MISSING

Japanese rescuers walk past the smoking ruins of the CTV building where 48 students and staff, including scores of Asian students, are feared buried in Christchurch on February 24, 2011, two days after a deadly earthquake rocked New Zealand's second city killing at least 76 people and leaving hundreds missing. A 'miracle' was required to find more survivors amid the wreckage of earthquake-hit Christchurch, Prime Minister John Key said on February 24, as the focus turned to recovering bodies. An English language school, King's Education, which was based in the building flattened in the 6.3 magnitude tremor, released names of staff and students on its website, saying the list was compiled with the aid of witnesses and education authorities. Japan's foreign ministry said at least 27 of its citizens who had visited the school were missing -- 10 from the Toyama College of Foreign Languages, 12 from two study tour agencies and five independent students.
