미국 뉴스전문 언론인 씨엔엔(CNN) 테레비죤 방송은 27일 이른 아침 남미 칠레에서 8.8진도의 지진이 발생해 이 시간 현재 최소 122명이 사망하고 수많은 건물들이 파괴되었다고 보도했다. 또한 지진이후 이곳에서 발생한 태풍들이 태평양 쪽으로 이동하고 있어 그 후휴증도 주목되고 있다. 지진 진원지는 칠레의 2대도시인 콘셉씨온(인구 20만명)으로 밝혀졌다.

이 보도는 한편 태평양 연안지역과 하와이 지역이 쓰나미 태풍경보로 피해지역이 될 것이라고 경고하면서 해안지역에서 높은 지대로 피신할 것을 권고하고 있다. 미국지질연구소는 몇차례 태풍때문에 칠레의 해안지역인 탈카후아노 해변의 파도가 7.7피트나 높게 밀려오고 있어 피해를 예고했고, 이 같은 태풍들은 점차 하와이, 그리고 일본 쪽으로 이동하고 있어 주의를 환기시키고 있다.

Pacific under tsunami threat
after massive 8.8 quake strikes Chile


(CNN) -- A massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake rocked Chile early Saturday, killing at least 122 people and triggering tsunami warnings for the entire Pacific basin.

Numerous tsunami waves have been reported in the Pacific, with one reaching as high as 7.7 feet in the central Chile coastal town of Talcahuano, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

Sirens sounded at 6 a.m. Friday across Hawaii, warning people of a possible tsunami and telling people in coastal areas to evacuate.

"They"re going to sound the sirens to air on the side of caution and make sure there"s enough time to get people out of the evacuation zones, which are the coastal areas that may be affected," Brian Shiro of the Pacific Tsuanmi Warning Center said.

Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said she expected the death toll in her country to rise.

"We are taking all the necessary measures at this time," she said.

"I would like to offer my condolences to the families of the 122 people who lost their lives during the earthquake," said Chilean President-Elect Sebastian Pinera. "And by the way, the number of victims could get higher."

Officials did not give any information on the number of those injured. The full extent of the damage was not yet known, although there were reports of collapsed buildings and hundreds of people in the streets.

The capital of Santiago lost electricity and basic services including water and telephones. Bachelet said regional hospitals had suffered damage; some were evacuated. A major bridge connecting northern and southern Chile was rendered inoperable, and the Santiago airport was shut down for at least the next 24 hours.

Chilean television showed buildings in tatters in Concepcion, with whole sides torn off. At least two buildings there were engulfed in flames, and roads in the city were broken up, video showed.

Television Nacional de Chile reported that only three stories of a 15-story building remained standing.

Numerous aftershocks -- including one of magnitude 6.9 -- were felt within hours of the initial quake, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

"There are really aftershocks like every hour," said Felipe Baytelman, speaking to CNN from Santiago.

The quake"s epicenter was located off the coast of Maule, about 200 miles southwest of Santiago. It struck at 3:34 a.m. (1:34 a.m. ET), when most people were sleeping.

"This is a major event. This happened near some very populated areas," said Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with USGS. "With an 8.8 you expect damage to the population in the area."

The earth"s rumbling was felt by millions in Chile and in parts of Argentina, as well. Some buildings in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, were evacuated.
