Earthquake Shakes Northern Chile, Interrupts Live Presidential Interview

A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck northern Chile on June 5, 2025, interrupting a live television interview with presidential pre-candidate Carolina Tohá. The unexpected event unfolded during a broadcast by Madero CL, capturing the immediate reactions of Tohá and the interviewer. Footage shows the ground shaking visibly, causing the interviewer to instinctively shield his face. While the event was undoubtedly alarming, thankfully, authorities reported no major damage or injuries resulting from the quake. A potential tsunami warning was also deemed unnecessary. The earthquake serves as a stark reminder of Chile's seismic activity and the preparedness measures in place to mitigate the impact of such events. "It was quite a surprise," said the interviewer, Aldo Ortiz Pardo, in a post-earthquake statement, "but we're all safe and thankful for that."
