Aneya: Pictures of Santiago After the Quake

This is a common sight now, there are cracks everywhere.
Random bunches of glass and rubble are also abundant.
A handwritten sign warning "Danger, Do Not Pass" although there was nothing dangerous looking behind it.
The beautiful Opera house had some cracks near the top, but looked to be in fine condition overall.
This is what most of the streets look like. Rubble all over the place.
Some looters tried to get into this building, leaving glass everywhere.
The building wasn't even a shop, so I don't know what they were looking for.
The security tape surrounding the now destroyed Bellas Artes museum.
This was the worst destruction we've seen here.
The weird thing about this is that the other side of the building is perfectly intact, and this side was destroyed. You can literally see the roof coming apart.
All these people are in line at Lider, apparently the only supermarket open in the city. You can't even see, but the line goes all the way back, down the aisles. It was madness, but Lauren and I managed to get some food before it was too late. Lider closed early, at 1pm, and there were hoards of angry people outside, trying to get in, as we were leaving.

  1. If you guys have any advice on how to locate people it'd be great. There are people in the US looking families on twitter and I know of one that has no news yet. I hope everything is ok with you two.
