Chile has a better infrastructure than many would think, but an 8.8 quake would cripple any country. They have an infrastructure that in no way compares to Hati. They are #3 among countries in the Americas, i think in the top between 27-33 overall, in the most recent Global Competitiveness Report, which measure medium levels of economic prosperity

Just read an article on cnn.com that said this earthquake was 700-800 times stronger than the one in Haiti

This will also hurt hati since a lot of the aid will be diverted to chile when hati still needs it

they idea about the maya calendar is that it resets to 0 sometime in dec of 2012 but it actually just starts with a one and cycles again. since they don't start their calendar with a zero. People thinking the maya calendar ends in 2012 would be the same as people thinking our calendar ending in 10000 since we don't say 02010
