Reefa Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 A fire in Valparaíso, Chile has destroyed more than 2,500 homes, left 11,000 people homeless and killed at least 15 people. It's an unfathomable tragedy that has destroyed an entire community. This drone footage from Skyfilms attempts to show the extent of the damage caused by the fire's wrath. It looks like a set of an apocalyptic movie, only it's real people and real lives on the ground.View it Here. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I work in Valparaiso and this has been a really bad blow to the people who live in the area affected by the fire. Apart from the sad loss of life, many people were left with only the clothes they were wearing, they lost all their possessions, furniture, family photos and belongings,,all the things that they had worked a lifetime for. It's hard to imagine how you would feel in that situation. Schools are now being used as collection points and people are taking food and clothes (my wife took things on Tuesday) which will be distributed among the victims of this disaster. We just need the politicians to do their bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeforever03 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is pretty horrible. I hope that other countries are providing aide to these people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
