Sul Ross gets a little wet on Sunday afternoon as he stares out across campus. Earthquake kills at least two, injures 18 □ The quake rocked northern Chile early Sunday morning. It had a magnitude of 7.8, yet damage was minor. SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Thousands of people poured into the streets in panic after a powerful earthquake rocked a 1,000-mile stretch of northern Chile early Sunday. At least two people were killed and 18 were injured. But considering the strength of the magnitude-7.8 quake — centered 12 miles offshore in the Pacific — the casualties were few and damage was mi nor, police said. Many people spent the night outside after the 1:11 a.m. tremor, frightened by strong af tershocks and the possibility — called slim by officials — of tidal waves. A 32-year-old man was killed when a wall collapsed on him in Antofagasta, a port city 850 miles north of Santiago, said re gional police commander Gen. Patricio Fuenzalida. A 19-year-old boy scout leader also died when he fell ijito a deep ravine near Antofagasta, police said. No other details were available. Gen. Fuenzalida said the heart attack death of a 75-year- old man may also have been re lated to the earthquake. The government’s National Emergency Office said 18 people were injured in Antofagasta, none of them seriously. The worst damage was to Antofagasta’s port, where several piers and cranes were wrecked, said Juan Tagno, a public works official. The port was closed for BOLIVIA Antofagasta | /] Earthquake CHILE ARGENTINA Atlantic Ocean Associated Press safety checks, he said. President Eduardo Frei flew to Antofagasta and announced emergency aid to repair the damaged port, a key link in ex ports from huge copper mines nearby. The mines werfen’t af fected by the quake and were op erating normally. Communications and some utilities were cut off in most of the region and some roads were blocked by landslides, police said. The Emergency Office said power and gas supplies were suspended to prevent fires. The quake caused no damage to area copper mines, which were all reported to be operat ing Sunday. Chuquicamata, the world’s largest open-pit copper mine, is 95 miles east of Antofagasta.
