Quakes Shock Chile Inauguration

Two earthquakes rocked Santiago as dignitaries arrived for the inauguration of Chilean President-elect Sebastian Pinera in Valparaiso. The quakes, with preliminary magnitudes of 5.1 and 7.2, were strongly felt in the capital, and Bolivian President Evo Morales seemed disoriented briefly, the Associated Press reports. Outgoing President Michelle Bachelet said she had taken care of her country’s most urgent needs after the huge earthquake shook it last month. "I'm leaving office with sadness for the suffering of our people, but also with my head held high, satisfied with what we have accomplished," she said.
