前几天，智利发生了恐怖的8.8级大地震，但是到目前为止，只有800人死亡，而且大部分死于海啸。联想到前几年的汶川8级大地震几乎死亡了近8万人，确实值得我们反思，是不是不应该有那么大的伤亡？让我感到奇怪的是，对于这个问题，各大媒体集体失声…

    今天，我跟一个智利的网友（隐去名字）聊天，他告诉我的一些情况，更令我震惊。他家住在17层楼，虽然那3分钟很恐怖，但最终是没事。如果不是海啸吞没了沿海的村庄，死亡人数还会更少。

t 说:

and there was a tsunami that swept away all the little towns by the beach in the south

so ..i mean. im in santiago, it wasnt the strongest thing here

neo 说:

tsunami...

t 说:

but to those people where the center was... it was absolutely devastating

neo 说:

I can imagine

In 2008,China had a big earthquake

t 说:

i know, in sichuan

neo 说:

80000 died

t 说:

awful

yep

here so far 800 are confirmed dead

most of them are the people who got swept by the tsunami

neo 说:

in Chile,8.8 magnitude

oh

I want to know,8.8 magnitude is bigger than that in China

t 说:

yep. the one in sichuan was an 8.0

neo 说:

maybe the construction is stronger in Chile?

t 说:

yep, we get earthquakes all the time, so all the buildings are earthquake proof... but still, those little towns by the sea, .... when a huge wave comes ...

poor people

...

neo 说:

and in Heiti this year,it was also a disaster

t 说:

yep. that was a 7.0

so even less stronger

but there, well, constructions are really crappy so they all got buried in the rubble

neo 说:

I understand now,thanks for the good buidings

t 说:

I know, but it was so SCARY, I don't wanna stay here anymore! I wanna live on ground level!

lol

neo 说:

In china,some of the buildings became rubbles completely!

t 说:

exactly... in concepcion, where the center of the earthquake was, a buidling collapsed..man... AWFUL. with people inside1

neo 说:

I never experienced earthquake in my city

t 说:

lucky you!
