IFCE* 1° Ano 2010/2MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE STRIKES CHILE
The 8.8 quake caused widespread damage, destroying buildings, bridges and roads in many areas.
Electricity, water and phone lines were cut.
Several Pacific countries were hit by waves higher than usual after a tsunami was set off by the quake. In
French Polynesia, waves 1.8m high swept ashore, but there were no immediate reports of damage. In Hawaii,
[5] Tahiti and New Zealand, residents in coastal areas were warned to move to higher ground.
The earthquake struck at 06:34 GMT, 115km north-east of the city of Concepcion and 325km south-west
of the capital Santiago. It is the biggest to hit Chile in 50 years.
“At least 85 people died in the region of Maule alone”, local journalists there said. Many deaths were also
reported in the regions of Santiago, O'Higgins, Biobio, Araucania and Valparaiso. Television pictures showed a
[10] major bridge at Concepcion that had collapsed into the Biobio River. Rescue teams are finding it difficult to reach
Concepcion because of damage to infrastructure, national television reported. In Santiago, where at least 13
people were killed, several buildings collapsed - including a car park where dozens of cars were smashed. A fire
at a chemical plant in the outskirts of the capital forced the evacuation of the neighbourhood. “Santiago
international airport's terminal will be closed for at least 72 hours”, officials said. Flights are being diverted to
[15] Mendoza in Argentina.
Ms Bachelet declared a "state of catastrophe" in affected areas and appealed for calm. Chilean President
said that altogether two million people had been affected. She said: "We're doing everything we can with all the
forces we have."
Other residents of Chillan and Curico said communications were down but running water was still
[20] available. Many of Chile's news websites and radio stations are still not accessible.
