I remember reading this on wiki a while back about the 1960 Chilean earthquake

Human sacrifice

A book by investigative journalist Patrick Tierney, The Highest Altar: Unveiling the Mystery of Human Sacrifice (1989) ISBN 9780140139747 , documents a possible modern ritual human sacrifice during the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 1960 by a machi of the Mapuche in the Lago Budi community. The victim, 5 year old José Luis Painecur, had his arms and legs removed by Juan Pañán and Juan José Painecur (the victims grandfather), and was stuck into the sand of the beach like a stake. The waters of the Pacific Ocean then carried the body out to sea. The sacrifice was rumored to be at the behest of local machi, Juana Namuncurá Añen. The 2 men were charged with the crime and confessed, but later recanted. They were released after 2 years. A judge ruled that those involved in these events had "acted without free will, driven by an irresistible natural force of ancestral tradition." The story is also mentioned in a Time Magazine article from that year, although with much less detail.

Shocking stuff

omg, terrible :(

Sure but they can not tell how bad it can be.


At least they know they have to move away from the coast
and talking Live they seem relaxed and ready.

SkyNews just confirmed
Tsunami has hit NZ.

It hit new Zealand? !

Wow :S

Yes the edge of it.

Isn't that a bit far for it to have traveled?

Nope, check the image in the first post :blush:

Omg how badly?

Omg

On SkyNews they just showed the
Massive area - The Whole of the Pacific
can be attacked.
It could even hit USA.

The waves, 1960 Chilian Earthquake (9.5) reached Japan in 22 hours.

I had a relative lived in a small fishermen's village called Shizugawa.
It had beautiful pine trees beach. I used to visit there when I was little, picked pink shells and played.
The village was part of coast attacked by the Tsunami and many people died.

Then this was 50 years ago.
Now all nations of Pacific Ocean must be well informed and well prepared for it.

President Obama said on TV,"We can not control nature, but we can and must be preapared for disaster when it strikes."

Has it hit Hawaii yet?

Looks like I left there at the right time :joker:

No.

Where is Rob when you need him?

40 minutes.

i thought you were still there! werent you going there for 6 weeks?

I was gonna ... but it got boring fast, and other stuff too made me come back much sooner. Lost its novelty pretty quickly when you're out there for a while :joker:

Another stream here: http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/ar...mplate=mogulus

Think the wave will hit this stream at ~9:20, not 100% sure on that though

It won't cause much damage in Hawaii, Hawaii is a giant mountain and the wave is 3 metres

Stream doesnt work right now.

Will it when its meant to hit?
