I live in Mendoza, Argentina.. The way the earth moved here was incredible, and we live aprox. 2000km from there. I really can’t imagine the magnitude of the eartquake in the epicenter.
The Mariott Hotel looks like it survived the earthquake. In the last photo?

My prayers for the Chileans.
Just viewing these pictures, I can just imagine the devastation that the earthquake caused. The worst earthquake that hit the Philippines was in 1990 where it destroyed Baguio City. The photos then and these photos are very similar.
