Just 6 weeks after the devastating Haiti earthquake, an 8.8 earthquake hit just off the coast of Chile early Saturday morning, killing hundreds of people and creating tsunami warnings in more than 50 countries across the Pacific ocean. Thousands are believed to have been left homeless due to the widespread destruction of buildings. The after waves have now hit Japan and Russia.
