Chile earthquake

[billy]

At least Chile had building codes in place. That greatly limited the damage.
Unlike Haiti, where there are no building codes.

Nevertheless, the earthquake was a bad setback for Chile, which, as the richest South American country, was finally at the cusp of getting rid of the last of the shantytowns, thus becoming the first South American country to become a first world middle class nation with quality housing for all its citizens.

it didn't wipe out all of chile.
like katrina it's a natural disaster it's people will get over.
if others give help then all the better.
