It’s curious to see where the public goes in documenting the massive earthquake in Chile — in contrast to the newswire’s narrow preoccupation with damage, looting, security, damage, security and damage. A friend of BNN, Peter Hollander, writes of this reader-contributed photo to the NYT:

“Liberty, freedom, destruction, gender, sex, aggression (“The Scream”), petrol… could go on and on. The End Times must be nigh.”
