Chile Earthquake: 6.4 Magnitude Tremor Strikes North, Causing Widespread Panic

A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck northern Chile on Friday afternoon, causing widespread panic and prompting evacuations. Footage from Red Uno shows people fleeing buildings and a parking lot, many visibly shaken and shouting warnings to others. "Cuidado! Cuidado!" ("Careful! Careful!") one person can be heard yelling in the video, illustrating the immediate danger and fear experienced. The earthquake's aftershocks were felt in neighboring Argentina and Bolivia, further underscoring the event's regional impact. While initial reports suggest no major structural damage, the video highlights the immediate human cost of the earthquake and the widespread fear it generated. The quick response and orderly evacuation shown in some parts of the video offer a contrasting note of resilience in the face of disaster.
