CCTV footage showed the moment a golf supply warehouse in Wellington was struck by the earthquake that struck New Zealand on Sunday. Bags filled with golf clubs and other sporting equipment shook slightly before feeling the full force of the quake and rattling to the floor. New Zealand's East Coast was most affected by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that decimated infrastructure along New Zealand's coastline near Kaikoura. The quake originated about 60 miles from Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island and the first tremors were registered just after midnight local time, leaving two dead. A tsunami alert was announced for Wellington and surrounding areas, but has since been removed.
Video courtesy of Vlad Alexsson and Anna Alekseenko captured the moment when a series of explosions rocked the Russian city of Murmansk, lighting up the sky and cutting power to whole districts of the town. A major blast at the Kolenergo thermal power plant illuminated the night sky over the subarctic city of 300,000 people on Tuesday, causing blackouts and scaring locals right as winter is setting in, with temperatures hovering around 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Workers from EMERCOM, or the Russian Emergency Ministry, responded to the event quickly and were able to bring on reserve generators within an hour, so the blackouts didn't last very long, but the explosions did certainly make for some incredible visuals as thousands of homes were plunged into darkness in the largest city in the world located north of the Arctic Circle. The port city connects north-west Russia to the Arctic Ocean, through which dry goods like coal, oil, and fish are shipped to Europe and Asia. Investigations are ongoing at the site but the cause of the explosions remains unknown at this time
