This is a very cool youtube video of a flyover of the fault trace from the recent New Zealand earthquake. The fault features are very apparent, something you don't usually see.

That is cool! I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to be standing there when that happened...probably wouldn't be standing!

This is no joke... From the Kiwi Rail Staff Newsletter: This photo taken at the 3km mark on the Midland Line shows in very graphic terms the impact of Saturday morning’s earthquake. LE Dick Heanga, who was working at the time of the quake, managed to stop just 30 metres short of this buckle
