The quake struck at 6:44 p.m. and was centered in a remote, sparsely populated area in the Andes mountains, about 1,800 kilometers miles north of Santiago, the capital. (AP). Read on...
In another news there were mild tremors in Bombay too. Read on...
I myself did not experience any tremors being in Santiago which is quite at a distance form the epicentre!!!!
