"Maremoto: Chile's Tragic Tsunami and Quake"

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

In the early morning hours of February 27, 2010 a massive 8.8 earthquake rocked the central coast of Chile. The quake caused heavy damage but most of the 500 plus casualties were caused by a series of tsunamis that pummeled the coastline in the hours after the temblor. The town of Constitucion was particularly hard hit by both. A slow response by Chilean emergency crews and a denial of foreign aid exacerbated the misery for many Chileans.
