Chile Earthquake: Tsunami Swept Away Fleeing Bus Full Of Retirees
PELLUHUE, Chile — The 40 retirees enjoying summer vacation at a seaside campground nestled under pine trees knew they had to move fast after Chile’s powerful earthquake struck. They didn’t make it. The tsunami came in three waves, surging 200 meters (yards) into this Pacific Ocean resort town and dragging away the bus they’d piled into, hoping to get to high ground. Most of those inside were the retired Chileans, and only five of their bodies had been found by Monday, firefighters and witnesses said. Pelluhue’s horror underscored the destruction wrought by Saturday’s pre-dawn 8.8-magnitude quake, which killed at least 723 people and set off spates of looting in shattered towns without food, water or electricity. Most of the deaths came in communities along Chile’s south-central coast – those closest to the quake’s epicenter – in the wine-growing Maule region that includes Pelluhue. Survivors here found about 20 bodies, and an estimated 300 homes were destroyed. Most residents were aware of the tsunami threat; street signs pointed to the nearest tsunami evacuation route. The ruins of homes, television sets, clothes, dishwaters and dead fish cover the town’s black sand beaches. “We ran through the highest part of town, yelling, ‘Get out of your homes!’” said Claudio Escalona, 43, who fled his home near the campground with his wife and daughters, ages 4 and 6. “About 20 minutes later came three waves, two of them huge, about 6 meters (18 feet) each, and a third even bigger.
