The January 17, 2005 the rumor of a tsunami approaching the coast of Chile caused panic among the population of the intercom.



While the official investigation was never consistent or clear in their results, we can discuss some things about the case.

Second, the spread "viral" information, false in this case, the tsunami, mostly relied on what Shigeru Miyagawa called Personal Media , as opposed to the concept of mass media, and tested its effectiveness in the now famous March of the Penguins.

Third, the "false tsunami showed little confidence that the authorities inspired by the population, which was shown when people decided not to return to their homes and stay in the hills for fear of tsunami, even if the political authorities are ensure that fear was unfounded.
