Massive earthquake hits Chile, triggering Pacific tsunami warnings!

February 28th, 2010 | Posted in Australia, Chile, Japan | Author: Editor

“One of the world’s most powerful earthquakes in a century battered Chile killing at least 214 people as it toppled buildings and triggered tsunamis that ravaged a port town and threatened Pacific coastlines as far away as Japan [and Australia].  Buildings caught fire, others crumbled and bridges collapsed across swathes of central Chile, but the initial death toll was relatively low from a quake many times stronger than the one that devastated Haiti last month.  An apartment block with up to 200 people inside collapsed in Concepcion, the closest major city to the epicenter, and rescue officials said they were unsure how many escaped”
