On Saturday at 3.30am Chilean time, a devestating 8.8-magnitude earthquake - one of the most powerful earthquakes in history - struck about 80 kilometers south of Concepción.
The death toll in the city situated 500km south of Santiago continues to soar. Reporter Simon Marrow was in that area in July last year building houses.
He speaks with local Pancho Francisco Elicer Coopman, who was out partying when the lights went out and everything started to shake.
