Giant eagle falls in New Zealand airport after quake

An earthquake has caused a giant model eagle to fall from the ceiling at Wellington Airport in New Zealand.

The structure was being used to promote the Lord of the Rings films, which were shot on the islands.

The earthquake, measuring 6.3 magnitude, struck New Zealand's north island at 02:52 GMT on Monday, 640 miles south-east of the town of Palmerston, the U.S. Geological Society said.
