147 dead chileans for a 8.8 earthquake seems very cheese to me if you ask i really dont think thats a real number, good thing hawaii got away safe.
Hope all chileans are fine, they are very cool people.
Keep in mind that Chile is a seismically active area and is a much wealthier country then haiti. That is why the buildings held up better then the Haiti earthquake even though the earthquake was much larger.

Also, the earthquake in chile occurred much deeper beneath the surface than the one in haiti.

Hey uh, I got news that the tsunami alert was dropped and the only ones that are expecting it are japan and russia.

We're still all worried about the players of our community who we haven't heard of... we hoping that pALLo, xANXO SAgem and some others are fine, they live in cities with heviest damages

Yep, our university courses for engineers take seismic protection really seriously- the only place in the world where you might find buildings built more resilient to quakes than in Chile is Japan, really. Concepcion city suffered serious damage, the rest of us are mostly fine.

Im fine and glad to be OK... but we have family next to the epicenter and we cant get in touch with them (uncles).
First time that I was really scaried.. I was here on TL watching some SC WL and then the earthquake started so I first wake up everyone here and told them to get under the door. It was fucking scary to see that the earth was moving like that, Concepcion and near cities got the worst part (Im freaking happy that my sister came earlier from her vacations, she was on Concepcion for vacation)

Not to downplay the significance of this quake and the ensuing tsunami but this basically screws Haiti over even more so. International attention will be focused on the other nations, most of which have infrastructures far more suited to dealing with these natural catastrophes, and Haiti will probably suffer in economic despair for a long long time to come. Poor Haiti

I disagree Chile was much more prepared for an Earthquake than Haiti, building codes, top notch search and rescue, emergency systems, etc.

This is how it worked in Haiti too. It started with "a few thousand are dead" and we end up with 200,000.
Sadly, i'd guess we aren't close to the overall total in Chile.

Ok, right now the official count f deaths is 708.
a tidal wave it the coast like 2 hours later than the quake, taking at least 350 lifes in the town of Constitución.
The other 350 are spread through the ffected region. This number is spected to be raised be a few hundreds. I think i will get to something like 1000. Even 1000 is incredibly low, so i am relatively glad.
I am worried to, because we cant get in touch with some people of the chilean comunity.
The people is starting to pillage some local retail stores, and almost every pision there is on a riot.
The army is on te streets, so i think by tomorrow all would be nicer.
Anyway, i live in santiago, where a very strange and quiet sunday is going on, its like a very red day, with the commerce closed, and not so much people on the streets, but here is all very close to normal, but the light is on and off

If someone can point me to a place that has no risk of natural disasters I'll be delighted to move there :3
Singapore. Never ever been hit by anything harder than a tremor.
When I saw the thread title I thought something happened to Chill
Chileans please be safe.
Here's to having no more disasters again this year!

I wasn't aware that Darwin explained the extreme economic exploitation of third world countries by the corporations in the united states, and its effects.

From Chilean news the president said it wouldent raise all that much becuse they have count the dead from meny affected regions but there is still the worst affected region/city provice Conception so it will probleby rise abit but It wont reach 10.000 lifes. Most houses dident fall apart so its no Haiti. Hopefully Chilen people can recover fast from damage done.
