Things seem to have calmed down quite a bit

Let’s see what happens the next few days. Chile is still struggling to get its basic services up’n'running: electricity, gas, water – but more are coming up by the hour. Remember: If you have no phone connection, maybe you have internet, if you don’t have internet, you might have a phone-connection. If not landline, then cellular – or the other way around. Stay in touch with your families around the globe, in Sweden a friend just received good news about his parents. Keep in touch!

Death toll: has fortunately been lowered to approximately 450 identified deceased.

Aftonbladet – with a semi-bad translation:

The woman says “but I thought the world was falling upon us” (approx) not “I didn’t know everything was coming down / jag visste inte att allt skulle rasa samman” – the man says that the girl who broke her leg did so because something hit her when she had fallen (a slab of concrete?) not simply because she fell. Things were falling from the walls and ceilings.

CNN footage:

This is what it looked like when the quake struck:

Current status:

Read from the top… Water is being sold at very high prices: $1000/l (pesos, appros 15SEK) and bread goes for around $2000-$2500/kg (30-40SEK). Many towns are without power and water, even though some have telephony services. Some towns/cities are scheduling planned cuts of water and power services – probably to check systems. Where phones don’t work, internet might; tell people to get on the web! Go online! If the internet is down in places, phones might work (e.g. Peñaflor is without power, but phone lines are up). If you have gas piping, check your tubes with a mixture of water and liquid soap. If you see bubbles, cut the gas and avoid open flames! Tsunamis – or sea quakes (maremoto) as they’re known in Chile – have created quite a mess. Waves have washed boats up on city squares, cars aswell; piled up against house walls. Many bridges in the Santiago area have collapsed. People are complaining about the lack of public communication and hailing social media such as Facebook and Twitter. In Santiago there have been fires, amongst them one in some kind of factory. The fire has been spewing noxious and poisoneous fumes and leaving a huge black cloud in the sky. Buildings have cracked, one – in Concepción (60 people missing) - has toppled over completely. Many have lost their facades. Houses made of adobe (a mixture of mud and straw) have all but pulverised. Loads of buildings are going down, either by themselves or by human hand. There is also talk of investigations regarding cheating construction companies; practically new buildings, guaranteed to stand for at least ten years, have gone down. Bridges aswell. Chileans think there’s something rotten going on. Earthquakes and after shocks have been reported from throughout the world: Chile, Argentina, Japan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Greece(!). Meanwhile the tsunami is spreading around the globe with waves reaching 1m in Hawaii, 1,2-1,5m in New Zeeland and 10cm in Japan. Yes, people, we’re metric here! Hospitals in Chile are pleading to people to stay at home and not flood the hospitals. Santiago is talking about 311 beds for injured. In Talca there was a rumour that all patients with breathing-support have died – haven’t found any confirmation on that yet. Roads in the Metropolitana region have been partly open to traffic and the toll booths have actually activelly charged people. Some roads are now completely open and free of charge though. Also looting and gangs of youth (flaites) roaming about. At least 3ppl have been found – say the rumours – dead, by bullets, not by quake. People are obviously guarding their homes and belongings, police are apparently on 24h patrol. 10:00 CET: Believe it or not, El MentirioMercurio still has no news! Body count is up to and above 300, but more than 16000 are missing or otherwise being sought for by relatives, friends and such. 2000000 people affected in one way or another by the quake. 500000 households on the streets. Swedish Radio (SR) talks about “several after shocks” – my family says “there are tremors constantly”. Situation clearing up now, people getting ready for the second wave? There’s no food, stores are closed, people are hungry and Piñera apparently – in the eyes of the public – is doing nothing. Someone shouted “Piñera conchatumadre” at the camera. Which roughly translates to “Piñera, you son of a bitch!”.

Let’s continue:

In Valpo (Valparaiso) there have been arrests of people shouting false alarms about impending tsunamis on the streets. Still there are aftershocks, not so pronounced now.

2010-03-01: One man has died due to cardiac arrest when fleeing from a supposed falsely alarmed tsunami.

There’s a curfew in Concepción due to – amongst other things – looting. Military deploys 1300.

Also a larger after shock @ 6,2 richter.

Kalla mig petig, kalla mig pucko, men det enda som är värre än särstavningar är fan inkonsekventa särstavningar. Och säg inte att jag har fel när jag säger att om du vill skydda dina barn mot pedofiler så adoptera bort dem – för sannolikheten är högre att någon i familjens närhet förgriper sig på ungen än att en vilt främmande galning gör det.

Och jo, det är tydligen helt och hållet tillåtet att börja meningar med “och” samt “men” nuförtiden. Tjenahej!

Jag måste missat något fundamentalt i resonemanget som förs i SvD-ledaren (även Ystads och Trelleborgs Allehanda). Att det skulle gå att stävja fusket inom partierna genom att göra det ännu enklare för folk att fuska. För det är ju i grunden vad det handlar om: att ta bort det filter det innebär att folk måste bli medlemmar i ett parti för att kunna påverka dess röstlängd och istället ge partiets/-ernas olika representanter fritt blås att föra personvalskampanjer, köpa röster, whatnot. Det har gjorts förr, det kommer att hända igen: personvalet har emellanåt varit ett bra sätt att få folk att göra avsteg från sina ideal för att nå sin personliga strävan. Säkerligen sitter det ett helt gäng personvalsmotståndare i riksdagen som kommit in genom just den sortens val.

För tillfället är det främst Moderaterna det pratas om, men det är ju givetvis inget unikt för bara detta parti, även om det kan vara lätt att – något fördomsfullt måhända – förledas att tro att sådant är vanligare inom ett parti med så uttalade karriärister, uppåtsträvare och hög andel människor som främst är ute efter (personlig) ekonomisk vinning.

Folk är förvånade att det fuskas inom partiernas valorganisationer? Moderaternas, inte minst? Hur tror ni då det kommer att bli om (eller snarare när) spärrarna avskaffas? När det blir fritt fram för “seriöst kampanjarbete” – av direkt USA-stuk får vi väl anta med tanke på den senaste tidens dörrknackningskampanjer – och det än större mygel detta troligen kommer att medföra?

personval, valet, val 2010, fusk

Och här är då superbowlreklamen som ovanstående videosnutt spoofar. Väldigt manlig, väldigt amerikansk… och oerhört, väldigt, enormt tråkig! (fast bilen är ju ganska snygg, i all sin muskularitet)
