Earthquake in Chile

In May 1960 Chile experienced the largest earthquake recorded in the 20th century with a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale.

Originating off the southern coast of Chile, the earthquake left two million people homeless, injured at least 3,000, and killed approximately 1,655. 

Tsunamis generated by the earthquake also damaged property and killed people in distant Pacific coastal areas.
