Before And After Photos Of Building Where A Father And Daughter Survived A 13 Story Fall During The Chile Earthquake

For the first time ever, the news team here at ITII (I Think It's Interesting) are able to provide breaking news. We here at ITII have uncovered rarely before seen photos of the building in Concepcion, Chile, where Mr. Alberto Rozas and his 7 year old daughter, Fernanda, survived a 13 story fall during the recent 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile on Saturday, February 27, 2010.

Mr. Rozas pulled his 7 year old daughter into the doorway of the bathroom of the 13th story apartment in an attempt to protect her from any damage caused by the 'great earthquake' (earthquakes with a magnitude of 8.0 or greater). He was not prepared for what happened next.... The entire newly constructed 15-story building fell on its side during the violent shaking.

Disoriented and trying to find his bearings, Mr. Rozas looked for any sign that may indicate a possible escape route. Through the broken glass of his apartment window, he saw the full moon and a way out.

Suffering only a few cuts and bruises, Rozas and his daughter are two of the lucky survivors.As of recent reports, 23 people have been pulled alive from the Rio Alto apartment building wreckage, along with 7 bodies. Rescue workers are still working to rescue an estimated 60 people still trapped inside the building remains.

Take a look at the before and after pictures of the Rio Alto apartment building before and after the earthquake.... They help to put into perspective, pardon the pun, the magnitude of the quake.
