I work in a storage building, so we are surrounded with boxes and pallets, something like this: ![[image loading]](http://www.vaticgroup.com/uploads/centro%20distribucion%20-%20bodega.jpg) We were loading trucks with products when the earthquake started, everything started too fell apart so we had to run were the trucks were being loaded, also the building is pretty big so me and some co-workers had to run a good 150-200 meters to the exit, and then the lights went out, that's when I got scared because you can Imagine with shit falling around and running with the lights off... shit was NOT pretty, also there's like this really thin space between where the truck parks and the building, with the truck jumping up and down and moving like crazy and people behind and in front of you trying to pass trough that thin space.. not good. | ||

Hope all chileans are fine, they are very cool people. It is expected to rise between 300 and 400 people.. It officialy increased to 214 after the last official count. Don't forget Chile is a country prepared to this kind of events, not only by the building laws, but also because people know how to react to earthquakes and tsunamis. Most of the buildings that collapsed were very old. | ||

Well the driver was lifting some pallets in the back of the building so he just sat there and just waited until it was over, the truck was under a pile of diapers (pallets full of them were just above him), but he was okay inside that truck. Edit: And on Monday we have to fix that whole mess :[ | ||
