  • I was 7 years old when Clemente plane crash.One person that work with traffic at the airport said that when the plane was ready to elevate he said that plane is too heavy,and a minute or two later the plane crash one mile near the Airport In San juan

  • I mean to say "Puerto Rican Amateur Baseball team's manager"

  • Roberto Clemente was Puerto Rican indeed. He came to Nicaragua in the earlier part of December 1972 as the Puerto Rican Amateur Baseball team to participate in the World Amateur Baseball Championship hosted by Nicaragua. After learning about the earthquake in Managua, he chartered a plane to bring supplies to help Nicaraguans affected by the disaster. His plane crashed in the Caribbean for unknown reasons and a baseball star was lost at that time.

  • My most enduring hero died trying to use his influence to help the victims..Rest In Peace Roberto.

  • My mother was 13 years old at the time. I cannot imagine how scare she was after this tragedy and everything else that followed. Nicaraguans have suffered so much.

  • @hauiti323: it is without a doubt that many of the citizens in Nicaragua are not active in the political tribulations; however, the earthquake undoubtedly affected Nicaragua's economic stability. before being able to even remotely recover from the disastrous earthquake, nicaragua experienced a violent revolution that expelled Somoza from power, and, shortly after, the Contra-Sandinista war. The earthquake was one of the major events in the second half of the century that caused devastating harm.

  • My mom was there too :(

    Thank God For my Mom

    She brought us here!

  • If you forget the past are doomed to re-live it.

  • why do I watch this!? I was not even born 20 years after that!

  • todos lo que van al gobierno..no mas hacen el pais mas pobre de lo que esta ..nadie desde que yo he sabido ..le ha ayudado al pais...soy del puerto cabezas y haci veo las cosas...

  • My whole entire family was in Managua when that happened and they only talk about how bad it was I went to Managua in 99 and a lot of those building were still abandon!

  • That's my home. I was born in VA. But still home

  • My mom had to go through this earthquake. I wonder what she was doing while this broadcast was going on.

  • @TheRockinMania my mom too

  • at the very least Mark , the problem we have is you have totally excused the Embargo in the 80s as well as the terroristic war which literally attacked the soft targets of the social programs which were feeding people. You have given a pass to 16 years of US. backed failure via the Washington Consensus party. and that is why we should be suspect of your comments. Anyone who does not mention pre 79 Somoza as being worse. or 90-2006 as somehow being an improvement is missing the point

  • Look at around 2004 at that point you had 14 years of U.S backed leadership and up to 7 percent of children going brain damaged due to malnutrition. At the very least you have to admit those 14 years didn't do anything for the poor and in fact reversed, things; If you telling me that the polls are all wrong that Ortega is not approaching 50 percent his party in the mid 40s compared to PLC in single digits. 60 percent say things have gotten better since 2006.

  • Don']t those Contras look rather young?????

  • No Mark, Illiteracy has been massively reduced since 2006, just as it was reduced in the 80s. When you say "two years after the war, if your speaking of the Contra War, actually two years after Chamorro was in power, that Government went in an privatized all the programs for nutrition so, sure at that point after an illegal war, and embargo and two years of a right wing government privatizing the social programs sure, things probably were bad.

  • Es triste que nuestro pueblo todavia se a comandado por goviernos tam corructos. Dios bendiga y proteja a nuestra Tierra Linda NICARAGUA...

  • iam from managua nicaragua and i just want to know why the governor haven't change a new laws and new member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • for all the anti-american marxist-bots i see here, this was US's response to this quake, as reported by AP:

    "more than half a million pounds of rolled oats and flour"

    "15,000 tents"

    "7 Army water-tank trucks, each with a 12,000 gallon capacity"

    "5,000 five-gallon water cans"

    ""An Army water-purification team"

    "two fully staffed Army field hospitals"

    "A 41-man medical assistance team... along with a 25-man disaster team"

    "the 518th Engineering Company (of the Army)"

    Castro did nothing to help

  • @pushups2345

    Plus one of USA Baseballs Greats, Native of Nicaragua Roberto Clemente how had his 3,000th hit in

    his final game of that season-1972.

    His flight with supplies on board and others crashed as he perished no bodies ever found.

    R.I.P. TO ALL THOSE LOST !

  • @SkuIICrusherGhost I believe Clemente was Puerto Rican, right? I've never heard of him being from Nicaragua...

  • @pushups2345 if im wrong i certainly apologize, my memory as as a kid my inaccurate.

    I just searched it on wiki = you are correct, good catch !!

  • apenas tengo 21 años y me da pesar que un pais tan rico, tan hermoso como nicaragua sea tan pobre, el terremoto, la maldita gerra de los 80´s nos dejo en la mas abosoluta miseria, despues de ser el granero de centro america es ahora un pais tan desconsolado y pobre... mi pais cuando volvera a hacer el de antes !!!

  • I dislike this country. Its so poor and dangerous that even walking down the streets might get you killed. My parents were born there and even they say that they will never return to this country. Rather then providing for its people, this country takes from them.

  • @GustavoMasisFlores

    fuck you fuckface. i bet you havent even brought your pansy faggot ass down here, you little shit. i bet you sit on your ass thinking youre perfectly american and ignoring the past.

    nicaragua is a beautiful country with beautiful people but its a young country in terms of democracy as a nation. it is going through hard times but you disliking it for shit your retarded cunt parents saying its dangerous is beyond my consent. thats not true idiot its one of the safest fucker

  • @Edgar193 You are not making much of an argument with that vocabulary. I never said it was an ugly country just that I disliked it. But screw you, I will not waste my time with the lowest shit of Nicaragua.

  • @GustavoMasisFlores

    and your argument is that your gay father who left says its dangerous and youre shitting your panties and criticizing it without even being down here.

    fucking hypocrite. how can you dislike something you dont know. and im not nicaraguan you retarded shit. im a foreigner here

  • @Edgar193 Again, i did not say you were Nicaraguan. I have been there plenty of times so don't assume things you don't know. But never mind, you are obviously a child who is doesn't know how to approach a debate. I will not waste my time with an mature prick.

  • @GustavoMasisFlores

    HA you call yourself mature when your justification for "disliking" this beautiful country from the which YOU are a descendant of is merely because your bu bu daddy says so

    grow up

  • @Edgar193 Are you seriously telling me to grow up? YOU gotta grow a pair. Again, I have been down there plenty of times so don't assume things. But forget it, you are too stubborn. I will not waste minutes of my valuable life.

  • @GustavoMasisFlores

    sure. for cowards like you this country is where its at.

  • This is one of the reasons that nicaragua is so poor n because of that piece of shit daniel ortega nicaragua would have be more better nonetheless Nicaragua is a very beautiful country from rivas to ocotal Nicaragua is one of the best Viva Nicaragua HASTA LA MUERTE

  • @mike360c didnt he rape his own daughter?

  • nicaragua esta asi por todos los politicos ladrones que tiene mi pueblo los hijos de puta no pueden dar y robar

  • thank god im an american may god bless your country

  • I am 100% Puerto Rican.....

    But I've visited Nicaragua 3 times and I love it. Love the food, the lakes, the volcanos, Granada, Miramar, SJ de Sur, Boaco, Managua, ALL of it....

    But the problem is not only the Government, but also the people. The ons with power and money, the ones with voice, don't stand p for what is right!!!!

    38 years later, some blame this earthquake still for the problems in Nica....I love the country, but the selfishess and cowardness is killing the country.

  • @huaiti323

    amazing what you speak, i agree with you. not everything is government's fault but ours too.

  • @huaiti323 I totally agree and I am Nica!!!

  • Para mis hermanos Nicaraguense viviendo en el exilio o en el pais, mucha fe que algun dia Dios nos va a alludar para que la mierda de los Sandinistas salgan de nuestro pais. Digan lo que digan, Somoza era la ladron pero tambien dejaba robar y todo el mundo salia ganando.... estos Sandinista son una mierda sin principios y sin cojones porque no saben administrar y se guian por el invecil de Chavez, otro analfabeto que no sabe ni ablar....

  • my parents were in this earthquake.

  • llegara uno the dios para leberal nicaragua y va purificarse en una nacion the amor y gozo y las naciones grandes va querer peliar con ella y uno con dios nadian contra uno NICARAGUA!!

  • roberto clemente u r a hero in nicaragua for trying to help

  • si lo unico que daniel es un ladron asesino ignorante, nicaragua en el tienpo de somoza no estaba tan jodido, hoy con este ignorante que le labes el culo a chavez el pais esta peor.

  • Los unicos que han hecho tristemente mierda a Nicaragua has sido los sandinistas, quienes tuvieron la oportunidad en sus manos para mejorar este pais y mas bien la terminaron de cagar. Desgraciados.

  • Zomosa, Sandinistas, Violeta , Arnoldo???? Cual es la diferencia??? NINGUNO HA HECHO NADA POR NICARAGUA, MAS QUE ROBAR Y BENEFICIARSE A ELLOS MISMOS....SINO VENDEN EL CULO A LOS GRINGOS, LO VENDEN A FIDEL...ASI QUE TODOS SON IGUALES!!!

  • @soilofk And the Sandinistas have done worse. And it is not Zomosa it is Somoza

  • @mark24609 Somoza or Zomosa whatever!!!! they all liars...

  • @mark24609 Hi there, you said the Sandinistas have done worse, yet I'm showing whether speaking of the 80s with a US Embargo and an illegal war on them yet they reduced infant mortality and child malnutrition and expanded education. Daniel Ortega, since getting back in has more children literate and graduating school since the history of Nicaragua. I see the Sandinistas as a positive group and pre 79 Somoza, or 90-2006 of pro U.S. right wing governments as negative.

  • @mark24609 How have the Sandinistas done worse??

  • I was there. I saw it. Nicaragua is the poorest country in the West Hemisphere. Several yrs after the war, I remember landing in the Sandino airport, and the amount of poor asking for money or help with my luggage for a few cordobas had trippled. I remember my nephews coming home from school raising their fists in defiance shouting "poder popular." Power to the people -

  • @roberts part two that is what they were taught in their schools. I remember seeing 13 year old children (the new draft age) holding sub machine guns. You know nothing about Nicaragua. I have written a lot about it. He spent almost the entire economy on growing his military.

  • @roberts11000 part three He was Hugo Chavez before there was a Chavez. 90% of the country was illiterate before he took power, do you think that changed? He conspired in the last presidential election with the opposing party to retake power. He won by the same % he lost in the prior 3 elections. Just a little what I have written on the country. BTW, Republican guard has also been observed on the Atlantic coast in Nicaragua.

  • 3 millions of dollars???!!!!!! where did they go??Somoza did not even demolish those old cracked buildings...what a bastard!!

  • this is what started the downfall of my beloved Nicaragua follow by the fucking sandinistas

  • very true!

  • What started the downfall was a presidents greed in not letting even the private sector in on the reconstruction of Managua. Maybe if he would've been honest he would've gone down as a honest president. His son El Chiguin was known as Commander Earthquake stealing all aid. Even poor Clemente knew what was going on that caused him personaly wanting to bring aid leading to his death. So I suggest to you callate las TAPAS TULA CUECHO!!!!

  • This is thae type of stupid ignorant bullcrap that the many oppressor of our beautiful Nicaragua want. Is be

  • The downfall of Nicaragua came about when Sandino was assasinated with the collaboration of the US rulers, in an effort to destroy the will of the people to defend themselves and as they have done in so many other countries around the world. Of course, they always depend on the ignorance of stupid uneducated idiots as bigeddy74 and others that post comments. But the will to break the chains of oppression by the dictators and their collaborators will always exist in Nicaragua. HAAA!!!

  • you must be a fucking sandinista .pues come mierda hijueputa

  • AYYY te dolio hijo de la gran mil millones de la gran puta mama turca somocistas. te dolio papa. ha ha como siempre lo unico que les sale de las tapas a los babosos, vulgarasos, ineptos, mal-educados y perdedores, como les gustaria regresar al poder y seguir sangrando a todo mi pueblo. Pero ahora les toca a los ladrones de los Ortegas. No a los verdaderos sandinistas, estupido, ignorante.

  • quien dijo que yo era somozista mierda,yo no estoy con ningun hijueputa que llega al poder que solo ladrones an llegado yo dije baboso que eso comenzo la mala racha de nicaragua,read between the line peluche

  • Hay que saber la verdad sin insultos broder. La verdad es que Daniel Ortega se esta comportando como dueno de Nicaragua igual como Somoza. Habia un tiempo, y el tiempo fue el terremoto que el sector privado lla no pudo negociar con un subjeto de Somoza. Somoza trajo muchas buenas cozas, pero degraciadamente su ser egollista causo su derrota.

  • tenes toda la razon broder.lo que pasa que este maje no supo interpretar lo que yo dije.que yo creo que es la verdad el terremoto fue el principio de nuestras desgracias seguido por el sandinismo si o no broder

  • Al quien le esta doliendo son a ustedes sandinistas de mierda ahora lo estan pagando por las cagasones que an hecho y son tan mierda que todavia lo tienen EL INDIO ORTEGA en poder hasta pena da

    USTEDES NICAS SE AN VUELTOS UNOS CAGONES Y MARICONES LE GUSTAN QUE LE DEN POR EL CULO miren a los hondurenos hasta ellos an mostrado huevos de hombre sacando el HP DE ZELAYA
