Massive earthquake off Chile sparks tsunami

  • 10 years ago
Two metres waves are reported to have hit Chile's northern coast after a magnitude 8-point-2 earthquake triggered a tsunami warning for the whole of the South American pacific coast. The US Geological Survey said the quake was shallow, only 10km below the seabed, centered 86 km northwest of Iquique, Chile's main mining export port. Al Jazeera's Gerald Tan reports.
