Chile erathquake

On Febuary 27th there was a devasting earthquake that struck in Chile causing destuction hundrends of innocent lives were claimed as many as 350 people had died in one Chilean coastal town, ConstituciĆ³n. A total of 199,250 deaths were calculated all over Chile. This was a 8.8 earthquake which indicates it was way stronger that Haiti. the earthquake inchile wasnt as severe because it started far away from the island deep inside the water bed. Chile's earthquake was much more powerful than Haitti but Haiti recieved much more global attention. A couple people went to volunteer & help in chile, but Haiti recieved thousands of doctors, nurses, medical resources, medication, etc. But at the end both places are recieving help. Haiti's quake took as many as 3 million lives which was 1/3 of there population.
