Hundreds are dead and 1.5 million people are displaced after one of the biggest earthquakes on record hit central Chile. Chile's president, Michelle Bachelet, says the massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake created "a catastrophe of such unthinkable magnitude that it will require a giant effort" to recover.

Large Hadron Collider and earth "cataclysms" work on a different magnitude. Colliders affect sub-atomic particles. I would compare the two levels as a crystal of salt in a very large commercial cooking brazier.
Both obey to basic physic law, but the Collider has no effect (IMHO).
Has anyone considered that the Halderon Collider in Switzerland has anything to do with the monster quakes. 1st time it was powered up there was the tsunami. It has now been `1/2 powered up again. Somehow I am not surprised. What do the scientists think?
Dear Shannon, though I don't know you I can tell you that Villa Alemana is OK, no one was harmed there and the town is standing without a problem
My dear friend Marcela lives in Santiago, and I am very worried about her. I have been trying to contact her since I heard the news.
I hope that Villa Alemana is safe along with Marcela and all her loved ones.
