With an 8.8, if they didn’t, there wouldn’t be a wall standing. Damn.
The difference that makes cannot be overemphasized.
Unlike Haiti, Chile not only has a long history of earthquakes, but very large ones have been frequent there, serving as a constant reminder of the necessity to plan accordingly. The last comparable earthquake in Haiti occurred about 200 years ago. It’s easy to forget what can happen.
