News On Chile Earthquake

In the yahoo news article titled "Man, daughter fall 13 floors in Chile quake" a perspective of one man's story of him and his daughter's survival of the earthquake in Conception, Chile is given. This is just one site of horrific damage done by the earthquake. The cite being the newly opened apartment building of concrete and glass, opened last June by the company Socovil. They had issued a statement saying that they had complied with all building codes but many residents had complained that the building was faulty. The article contains many small interviews with those who were able to survive the buildings collapse, all saying that the construction was poor. So a biased agianst the company who built the aparments was formed because of these peoples' opinions. The images given helped the story very much. It is a very strong and well written story that is written to give a good point of view since these are the people who are actually experiencing this tragedy.
