Chile was hit by an earthquake and a tsunami that followed it. They say that approximately two million people were affected by this. The earthquake was recorded at 8.8 magnitude and they say at least two hundred and fourteen people have died. After the disaster the buildings and towns in Chile were ruined and many crumbled to the ground. They now have the task of getting everyone help and safety. Thousands have been separated from their families and are looking for them. Many have tweeted looking for their loved ones.
This effects us globally because it brings people together. Everyone is always fighting about politics, and land, and military, but when terrible disasters like this happen it is almost like a wake up call to people. When a country has a problem like this and other countries come in a help and show they care it reminds that world that we are all people, regardless of what we believe in or where we live.

touching response but it is worth losing lives. I know that it is nice to focus on the positives but you didn't say anything about the effect it had on the people. And believe me they weren't thinking about how it brings people together. Its kind of rude to not mention them .
