@porchnapp Dear fellow,were is New Orleans, Florida and the country of tornados?Are the americans stupid guys because they are not prepared? Well, at least one probably is.I was there when the earthquake happened and believe me, they are not stupid at all and I hope if a thing like this someday happen in California (I hope not), I wish the californians to be as well prepared as the chileans were.By the way, I like as much the chileans as like the americans. Both very nice.Thank you.

This was not unexpected. Chile has experienced some of the worst earthquakes in recorded history. But they remain unprepared for this. Why? Because Chilean people are stupid. That's why.

@hollisterxsurfxx how about you look at all those anti-American comments? people here claim Americans are the most stupidest people in the world, yet were by far the strongest nation in the world. And you don't build a strong nation with stupid people, seems to me that people from chile and the other posters which are probably Euro SCUM are the stupid ones here.

@steveo9001 Get the fuck out when there are things falling down all around you and when there's the risk of some huge structures falling above you? Have you ever been to an earthquake?! Even a small one? The frame of the door isn't the best place to protect yourself, but it increases your chances of avoiding danger. You wanna be safe of an earthqueake? Go live in the forest.Greetings from Santiago, Chile.

@steveo9001 because ur avoiding things falling on top of you, the door frame doesnt collapse usually. Ur safer under there then anything.

To the ignorants, inbred rednecks:US engineers study Chile earthquake to bolster California building codesSince the Chile earthquake, dozens of US engineers have visited Santiago and other affected cities to study the failures and successes of building codes here. They say it provides valuable insights for California. By Aaron April 2, 2010. "This earthquake overall can be considered a success in terms of the engineering and construction practices in Chile," Mr. Maffei says.
