Chile, three days later

Three days after one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded struck the South American nation of Chile, the massive extent of the damage is becoming clearer, and the number of known victims has climbed to 723 deaths so far, many thousands still missing, and nearly 2 million displaced. World governments made immediate pledges of aid after Chilean President Michelle Bachelet requested mobile bridges, field hospitals, satellite phones, electrical generators, disaster assessment teams, water purification systems, field kitchens and restaurants, UN officials said. Collected here are recent photos from areas in Chile damaged by Saturday's 8.8-magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami.

Ça commence mal

Le Géorgien a rendu l’âme dans une descente d’entraînement, victime d’une sortie de piste d’une violence inouïe. Il a raté un virage à 270 degrés en fin de parcours, où la vitesse peut avoisiner les 140 km/h. Il a été catapulté de sa luge pour terminer sa course dans une structure métallique.
