8.8 Earthquake in Chile

[Mystic]

A 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.

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.

[Kilroy]

It's not even a thing about making the U.S. look good

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!
