Heroism and banditry mingled on Chile`s shattered streets Sunday as rescuers braved aftershocks digging for survivors and the government sent soldiers and ordered a nighttime curfew to quell looting. The death toll climbed to 708 in one of the biggest earthquakes in centuries.
Efforts to determine the full scope of destruction were undermined by an endless string of terrifying aftershocks that continued to turn buildings into rubble. Officials said 500,000 houses were destroyed or badly damaged, and President Michele Bachelet said " a growing number" of people were listed as missing.

In my mind, more and more earthquakes were happened in around the world. My hometown, Yunnan province also got a earthquake at last week, but it was just not heavy. Maybe it is like Maya people predicted, like that movie 2012, said earth will be destroyed in 2012. Although I do not believe it and I would like to think it is just a prediction, more and more natural disaters seem demonstrated it. So please protect the natual environment and do not deastroy it.
