Brief Summary:
A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Chile Saturday occured along the same fault responsible for the biggest quake ever measured. The rupture was estimated to be about 400 miles of the zone.
Short Response:
This quake was a severe ordeal because it was more powerful than most that had occurred especially in that area. It had the same impact as one of the biggest ever measured, so if something could be done to prevent these it would save many lives but nothing can be done.
