IQUIQUE Ms.8.2 EARTHQUAKE, APRIL 1, 2014
Iquique earthquake occurs in the interaction of the Nazca and South American layers, both have a colossal encounter, billion years ago , and will strive perpetually and only God knows which will win. Remember when you , in history class, were studying Greek literature which was based on the struggles of gods and demigods of mythology. The meeting of two tectonic plates , is that like , they are gigantic and have enormous power and as a result of their struggle occurs destruction to humans .
Leaving philosophy aside, this quake was quite shallow and generated a lot of fear and even a tsunami warning .
Iquique , is nowadays, one of the most important free zones of South America , has a perfect localization to bring products to Peru , Chile, Bolivia and Brazil , with a population of just 166,000 inhabitants in northern Chile , but is a heart economic development of the region.
The free zone is called ZOFRI ( Zona Franca de Iquique ) , which has a mall where you can buy products without paying taxes and great savings .
The following video is recorded in the ZOFRI mall , just at the time of the earthquake. A brave man instead of running, decided to record the earthquake completely , about 3 minutes of terror.
The earthquake begins with a strong and long stroke but gradually is increased , we see in the video, how the shelves and products fall to the ground. In terror, the people leave the place , it looks like the structure falters and this brave man, who shouted, at first, “quiet and stay calm”, after the first minute of the quake, when it worsens, he loses control and with a heartbreaking and desperate shout , in the strongest seismic stroke , the man screamed “NO MORE , ITS ENOUGH” and it turns out that the earthquake followed his instructions , XD .
Do not underestimate these earthquakes and always go to a safe place, don´t try to be a reporter, but if you still want to be one, then you have to endure.
See the rawness of the images.
