Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 A massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck Chile early Saturday, killing at least 78 people, producing powerful aftershocks and triggering a tsunami. The epicenter of the earthquake was located off the coast in Maule, near the city of Concepcion, 212 miles (341 kilometers) from the capital of Santiago. The quake struck at 3:34 a.m. (1:34 a.m. ET). Government officials expect the death toll to rise. Concepcion is Chile's second-largest city, with a population of 200,000. There are reports of collapsed buildings in Santiago. The quake was felt in several Chilean towns and in parts of Argentina as well. Some buildings in Buenos Aires were evacuated.More on CNN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted February 28, 2010 Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2010 Movies make people feel that it's real. As a story it's okay, but in taking in real life, I feel it's BS. All these is happening from years and years and will happen in future. I read somewhere on wiki that there have been many rumors past centuries that on some years the world is gonna end. And that dates mentioned are past. So people who wanna just waste their time do all these brainwashing other mind should keep it to themself and allow others to work in right directions and not keep them thinking about things that are not yet or are never gonna be proved.And there's one thing we should do now. I'm sure they would need some donation or help for the victims of the earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
