Eyewitness Reports from Chile

At 3.34 a.m. local time, Chile, my country, suddenly changed.The earthguake lasted about three minutes. My world, and that of my countrymen and women, became a massive horror story played out on the world stage.I was in Chile on vacation from my job in New York with the United Nations when the earthquake started. The earth screamed; a sound of thunder that came from its belly as it violently shook the plants, the cars, the walls,and the pavement that I stood on. It seemed like a very long time. Then silence. From my yard, high on a mountainside, I looked down at the city below and sawa cloud of dust.After the earthquake there was a tsunami, which devastated six regions.

Monica Contreras

It started off as kind of soft shaking, then really intensified.There was no way I could have gotten out of the building. It was shaking too hard. I stood in a doorway to try to protect myself. Everything that was standing fell over. Computers fell off desks and pipes burst everywhere. Once the earthquake stopped, Iran to the window that looks down over the city.I saw a huge cloud of dust. I have never seen anything like it in my life. There was screaming, crying, yelling, and panic coming from the city. Many of our neighbors'houses collapsed. Later,there was a tsunami which affected the coast. It was really scary.Marco Vidal
