Aftershocks rattle Chile five days after massive quake
Santiago (AFP) Nov 18, 2007 Another sizeable aftershock shook northern Chile late Monday, following last week's deadly 7.7-magnitude earthquake, US seismologists said. The moderate shock, registering 5.7 on the moment magnitude scale, hit off the coast of the city of Antofagasta, according to the US Geological Survey, which monitors seismologic events worldwide. Monday's jolt had a depth of 35 kilometers (21 miles) and marked the fifth successive day of aftershocks after Wednesday's massive temblor, which was located 1,260 kilometers (780 miles) north of the Chilean capital Santiago. That quake killed two people, injured 15,000, and damaged an estimated 4,000 structures throughout northern Chile.
