I think you looked much
better with this type of hair!
@206streetfilms Our building colonial style? wtf man? Thanks to our buildings the deads are less than 1000 people. And the most of the people death died due the tsunami, so, don’t talk about something you don’t know.
What on earth are you talking about!??
ppl whats up with all these stereotypes n primitive thinking?
For your information Chile’s is one of the most prepared countries to face earthquakes in the world! COLONIAL STYLE WTF? Do you think people down there live among horses and sombreros?? It’s almost racist..
Unlike us in EU, we know that Santiago resisted one of the biggest shocks registered by man, with only a few buildings down!! it’s an amazing architectural achievement.. Please read a book.
Hi. Aprox by the year 2020 a laptop will reach the human brain potential for processing data which means that there is a huge market waiting for hundreds of billions dollars to be sold or invested in humanoid robots and intelligent systems. It is the beginning of the bigger industry in human history. Search on Google luisbeck007 you will find the most complete humanoid robot list in the World, good information and interesting issues.
I Agreed with Locotae, i’m Chilean and i also know that all the big buildings are made to resist big earthquakes, but this earthquake can’t be supported by Chile and California together.
And that’s why we don’t have so many deads like Haiti.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a big destruction and a big tragedy, but could have been worst, if we hadn’t had experience in quakes
Sorry, I’m Chilean, and I know what I’m talking about, after the 1960 earthquake in Valdivia, a law was made therefor every construction should be made resistant to earthquakes, where I live some dishes fell over but the whole neighbourhood is intact, no electricity, and no water, but the houses are undamaged, it was 7.0 , all the damage was in the epicenter and the very close surroundings (8.8) ’cause nothing can resist that.
Don’t get me wrong concrete homes are great in a hurricane , but not engineered for earthquakes.
@Locotae Actually they are not. There buildings just like all of south america are colonial style. They where not engineered for earthquakes such as California. In California the high risers are built on springs which sway the building. The buildings are also made with precast pieces that have joints to help them give a little. In south america they have built their buildings on normal foundations not to mention are out of date. The houses are also made of complete concrete which crack and fall.
there are like 1000 deads..
sorry im chilean , i’m still scared !
That’s cause Chile is better prepared for seismic activity, so their buildings are made to resist them, that’s the difference with Haiti, anyways 8.8 es too strong for the buildings to resist, there’s not material strong enough to resist that
thanks for wasting my time deuschebag !!!!
@Alwayzbewhispahh
Get a life, little boy XD You just whined random shit. You’re already dead bro.
@Alwayzbewhispahh
AHAHAHAHA XD
more like your life sucks coz ur mums a smack head u get bullied at skwl and u dont no who ur dad is so suck out so sort ur life out before u say this world sucks !!!!!!!!
Actually not all the news is in yet. They have only found 120 dead. Remember it was an 8.8 which was much stronger then Haiti’s at 7.0. You might not think its much until you have been in one. In California when I lived there we had a lot of them especially the tremors.
@bobphatbhat asshole!
cool patdata, keep up the good work of reporting..
chile haite who effing cares,,, all this means is another music telethon on CNN,
