You are right yakwetu, all my family lives in Chile (fortunately they are all save) so I was following every news...
I Listen a civil engineer (specialist in earthquake) from the University of Chile, and He said that this earthqueake was at least 30 times strong that Haiti's Earthquake. The failure had 350 Km and the failure of Haiti has 8 km....
So is a miracle of engineering the low count of deads...
God bless everyone in Chile..
