Earthquake In Chile In Pictures

[MA-Caver]

For an 8.8 earthquake a large portion of the buildings survived. A stark contrast to the economics between this country and Haiti. Economics in being able to afford stronger, newer buildings with earthquake proof designs. True many buildings and bridges were destroyed but an earthquake of THIS magnitude the devastation would've been much worse. Still the photos speak for themselves. Some graphic (blacked out content) photos to be viewed at your discretion.

Well, NASA did team up with Arthur C. Clarke and Hollywood to stage the greatest hoax of all time: the moon landing. What a crock. Those guys even said the earth is round!
