Chile again experienced a couple of earthquakes on March 11th this Thursday. The magnitude said is 7.2. The shocks scared the residents of Chile and caused a lot of damage.
On 11th march Chile experienced yet another earthquake shock. The shocks were so horrifying that the people screamed and ran out in the streets out of the
buildings. The shock that came at 9:40 in the morning according to New York time had its impact for 25 minutes. The first aftershock that measures 7.2 on the
Richter scale lasted for 45 seconds. Three less violent quakes followed within 25 minutes. The earthquake influenced and damaged many buildings and shook the hearts
of people as well as the windows. But no immediate damage was reported because of this unpleasant incident.
The president, who at that time was swearing at the congressional building, immediately moved the residents of coastal areas. He ordered to move them to higher places as the navy told that the place might experience tsunami. This again could be very much fatal. But nothing like that happened and touched the coasts of Chile. This earthquake is second largest after the sad incident of Haiti which happened on 12th January and killed many.
