Inyikima enkulu ibethe kumbindi weChile, yabulala abantu abayi-122, utshilo umongameli welizwe.
Inyikima ye-8.8 magnitude yabetha kwi-0634 GMT malunga ne-115km (iikhilomitha ezingama-70) kumntla-mpuma wesixeko saseConcepcion kunye ne-325km kumzantsi-ntshona wekomkhulu, iSantiago.
UMongameli Michelle Bachelet ubhengeze "imeko yentlekele" kwiindawo ezichaphazelekayo kwaye wacela ukuzola.
I<em>tsumami eyabangelwa yinyikima iye yabangela izilumkiso kumazwe asePasifiki ukusuka eJapan ukuya eNew Zealand.
I-Sirens yalumkisa abantu ukuba bafudukele kwiindawo eziphakamileyo eFrench Polynesia naseHawaii.
Inyikima yeyona inkulu ekhe yabetha eChile kwiminyaka engama-50.
ISantiago yayiphakathi kweendawo eziye zafumana umonakalo omkhulu. Ubuncinci abantu abali-13 babulawa apho. Izakhiwo ezininzi ziye zawa. Indawo yokupaka iimoto enemigangatho emibini ithe tyaba, isophula intaphane yeemoto.
Umlilo kwiplanti yeekhemikhali kwindawo engaphandle kwekomkhulu unyanzelise ukuba abantu baphume ebumelwaneni.
Amanani asemthethweni athi abantu abangama-34 babhubhile kwingingqi yeMaule, kwaye kwabikwa ukufa kwabantu kwingingqi ye-O'Higgins, eBiobio, eAraucania naseValparaiso.
Umongameli onyuliweyo waseChile uSebastian Pinera, oza kuthatha isikhundla kwinyanga ezayo, ubeke inani lokufa lilonke kwi-122, wongeza ukuba linganyuka.
Umabonwakude wesizwe uthe kuqikelelwa ukuba bamalunga ne-150 abantu ababuleweyo.
Iinyikima
Amagosa aseChile athi ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, eyona dolophu ichaphazeleke kakhulu ibonakala ngathi yiParral, kufutshane nendyikitya yokufa.
Imifanekiso kamabonwakude yabonisa ibhulorho enkulu eConcepcion iye yawela kumlambo iBiobio.
Amaqela ohlangulo afumana kunzima ukufikelela kwiConcepcion ngenxa yomonakalo weziseko ezingundoqo, ingxelo kamabonwakude wesizwe.
IInyikima EZINAMANDLA
EHaiti, ngomhla we-12 kuJan 2010: Bamalunga nama-230,000 abantu ababhubhayo emva kwenyikima enzulu i-7.0 magnitude
Sumatra, Indonesia, 26 Dec 2004: 9.2 ubukhulu. Ibangela itsunami yaseAsia ebulala abantu abamalunga nama-250,000
Alaska, US, 28 Matshi 1964: 9.2 ubukhulu; Kwabulawa abantu abali-128. I-anchorage yonakele kakhulu
I-Chile, ezantsi kweConcepcion, i-22 ngoMeyi 1960: 9.5 ubukhulu. Malunga ne-1,655 yasweleka. I-tsunami ibetha iHawaii neJapan
Kamchatka, NE Russia, 4 Nov 1952: 9.0 ubukhulu
UMongameli Bachelet uthe: “Abantu kufuneka bahlale bezolile. Senza konke esinako ngawo onke amandla esinawo.”
UNksz Bachelet uthe "izambuku ezinkulu" lichaphazele iqela lesiqithi saseJuan Fernandez, lafikelela kwisiqingatha sendawo enabemi. Abantu abathathu abalahlekileyo, amajelo asekuhlaleni atsho. Iinqanawa zoncedo ezimbini zichazwe ukuba zisendleleni.
Umonakalo kwisikhululo sesikhululo seenqwelomoya saseSantiago siya kusigcina sivaliwe ubuncinci iiyure ezingama-72, amagosa athi. Iinqwelomoya zithunyelwa eMendoza eArgentina.
Omnye umhlali waseChillan, umgama oziikhilomitha ezili-100 ukusuka kwindawo ebiyelweyo, uxelele umabonwakude waseChile ukuba ukushukuma apho kuthathe malunga nemizuzu emibini.
Abanye abahlali baseChillan naseCurico bathi unxibelelwano beluphantsi kodwa amanzi akhoyo asekhona.
Uninzi lweewebhusayithi zeendaba zaseChile kunye nezikhululo zikanomathotholo azikafikeleleki.
EWashington, unobhala we-White House Press uRobert Gibbs uthe i-US ibiyibeke esweni le meko, wongeza wathi: "Sikulungele ukunceda [eChile] ngeli xesha lesidingo."
I-US Geological Survey (USGS) ithe inyikima yabetha kubunzulu obumalunga ne-35km.
Iphinde yarekhoda iinyikima ezisibhozo, eyona inkulu ye-6.9 magnitude ku-0801 GMT.
I-USGS yathi iziphumo ze-tsunami ziye zabonwa eValparaiso, kwintshona yeSantiago, kunye nokuphakama kwamaza e-1.69m ngaphezu komgangatho oqhelekileyo wolwandle.
Enye intatheli ethetha nomabonwakude welizwe laseChile ukusuka kwisixeko saseTemuco, i-600km kumazantsi eSantiago, yathi abantu abaninzi apho bashiye amakhaya abo, bezimisele ukuchitha ubusuku bonke ngaphandle. Abanye abantu ezitratweni babelila.
I-Chile isesichengeni kakhulu kwiinyikima njengoko imi kwi-Pacific "Rim yoMlilo", kumda wePasifiki kunye neepleyiti zaseMzantsi Melika.
IChile yathwaxwa yeyona nyikima inkulu kule nkulungwane yama-20 xa inyikima enomlinganiselo osisi-9.5 yahlasela isixeko saseValdivia ngowe-1960, yaza yabulala abantu abali-1,655 XNUMX.
Ngaba useChile? Ngaba ukhe wehlelwa yinyikima? Sithumelele izimvo zakho, imifanekiso kunye nevidiyo. i-imeyile: [imeyile ikhuselwe]
