Earthquake Strikes During Live Presidential Interview in Chile

A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck northern Chile on Friday, June 7th, 2025, during a live radio interview with presidential candidate Carolina Toha in Copiapo. The unexpected event was captured on camera, showing the immediate reaction of Toha and the interviewers as the studio shook. One interviewer described the scene as "chaos" as the interview was interrupted and everyone evacuated. Despite the dramatic footage, Chilean authorities reported no major damage or casualties, stating in an official statement that "no significant damage, injuries, or deaths have been reported at this time." The earthquake serves as a stark reminder of Chile's location on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire.
