QuoteA massive earthquake has hit the coast of Chile, killing dozens of people, flattening buildings and triggering a tsunami.
The 8.8-magnitude quake, the country’s largest in 25 years, shook the capital Santiago for a minute and half at 3:34am (6:34am GMT) today.
A tsunami warning has been extended across 53 countries, including most of Central and South America and as far as Australia, Hawaii and Antarctica.
The wave has already caused serious damage to the sparsely populated Juan Fernandez islands, off the Santiago coast, and is now travelling across the ocean at several hundred km per hour.

The death toll in Chile has reached 78 and is still rising according to President Michelle Bachelet, who has declared a “state of catastrophe” in the country.

Come on, really? Did we piss off the Earth again? Hopefully tsunamis don't occur as well.
Cthulu must have rolled over in bed again.
Yup, we are all gonna die...
That sucks... Especially since i'm in California and less than 2 blocks from the ocean D:
Oh, well. It's their problem.
Though I'm sure we'll come rushing to their aid. :|

I feel bad for the people in Hawaii. I hope they don't get any tsunamis.

We should have saved our aid for Chile. Someone tell me what Haiti contributes to the world.

Mabe they are one of the poorest countries in the world and the earthquake pretty much destroyed the place? That was the last thing Haiti needed.
Are you people really that intercourse ing selfish? It's not even a thing about making the U.S. look good, if another human being is hurt or in trouble, you help them. If you feel you only should if you get something in return, then something is wrong with you.

Uh, yeah it is.
The government is a bunch is a bunch of high-horsed, greedy intercourse ing bastards. They don't give two poops that there was an Earthquake in Haiti OR Chile. Aid makes them look good.
First Haiti, and now this? Thats pretty bad timing. Uh oh... one of my friends families and my parents are off the coast of New Zealand on a small island. Hope the tsunami doesn't hit there.

AHAHAHA.
You pretty much proved the point. It is one of the worst places to live in this world. And no one in the industrialized world gave two poops about it. But when media attention hits it, suddenly, we must all flock to the rescue!
The Earth must be warming up for December 2012

I didn't even know what a Haiti was before the earthquake. The earthquake was probably the best thing to ever happen to Haitians.

Ok, atleast some good news about the tsunami news. It caused a huge hype but didn't even do much damage. It hit Hawaii at 4:00 P.M Est Saturday and all what happened was a little flooding on the beaches.
I'm glad nobody got hurt. The guy who filmed that must have been crazy.
Someone please change "Chili" to "Chile".

I was on the beach here when they said it would hit. Nothing... :(
But there was a storm so the water was high and rough anyway, not like anyone could tell.
