    I’m from Chile. In southern Chile there are many houses destroyed.
    (Maule), Santiago had also damaged parts.
    The hepicentro was at a place called Cobquecura (Concepcion), and the tsunami in the region of Maule.
    In the north there was a little earthquake a few days ago.

  • willzer1995

  • danicubos

    No habla de hechos consumados, está advirtiendo de que habrá un tsunami pero es muy anticipado decir cuán destructivo será. También dice que si alguien lo está viendo en las zonas afectadas, que no tienen muchos tiempo para escapar.

  • kreliann

    actually it should be (I think) 32 * 1 * 32 * 0.8 as its only 1,8 extra grades. So the released energy was about 820 times the one 7,0 from haiti.

    Still, this news reporter need some math classes xD

    Haarp? Moon bombing? Edgar Cayce wrote the story about Atlantis, that they had weapons that moved the earth, and thats why it sank to the bottom of the ocean. They loved war and did not want to share technology with anyone.
    We must demand the end to all wars, even to us.

  • MatuXx2

    Santiago? Idiots

  • eamaldon

    just a comment.. an 8.8° Richter it’s not 64 bigger than a 7° like in Haiti.. it’s 1,000 time bigger, because 1 point of difference it’s 32 times… and 32*32 its= 1,024

  • WickedDesmadroso

    i think they made more of a big deal for hiati becase they wore black

  • mdtrad

    Santiago wasn’t that much!!!!! the major destruction was Bio Bio, Maule, Araucania and O’Higgins. Santiago just has to stop!!! it wants all the attention. Come on there are so many people who passed away and are suffering in other areas!!!!!

  • Sebastian2010cl

    ¿Alguien me podría hacer un resumen del vídeo? (no hablo inglés). No sé si está advirtiendo que viene el tsunami o ya habla sobre hechos consumados.
    Lo único que tengo claro que donde vivo, en San Pedro de la Paz, fue tremendo.

  • wansses

    Estaba viendo estas noticias en directo en Madrid, mientras por internet veía a las autoridades chilenas diciendo “no hay alerta de tsunami”. En CNN decían claramente que Talcahuano y pueblos cercanos estarían bajo el agua, mientras el gobierno lo negaba. Como chilena me dio mucha rabia y vergüenza.

    Im gunna sing a song for this

  • PlanetXObserver

    project HAARP maybe is the real cause of the earthquake!

  • Zirsquishy

    @Bethcat61 How weak are you people? For not being able to fight for your own? What do you do? Pray and hope for him to save you? What if theres too many to save, you think he will come for all of us? Dont expect too much from him, believe in what you love and fight for it on your own!

  • Rogeramirez

    Why he says Tsunami wave activity?… we never heard of that here ’till people started to die!!!
