It was a 60 minute documentary (on Discovery Latin America, maybe not available everywhere?), the main elements were the story of the father of the boy whose body was the last found in the Edificio Alto Rios in Concepción.
It won't really have told anyone who experienced the event anything new, but it did bring out the enormity of the event, especially when the researcher from the US visited the island in front of Concepción and showed the trees where everything was stripped up to the 10m mark.
There were a couple of interesting segments, for example, it seems they're now blaming the tide sensors for lifting the tsunami warning? Also, a few minutes with the structural engineer in Santiago who said Chile needs to develop its own earthquake technology, there's no point in importing as no other country experiences the same extreme conditions (80% of the tectonic activity on the planet comes from the Pacific fault).
You are disturbing me. I am picking mushrooms.
