The aftershock comes as Chile tries to recover from an 8.8 earthquake in February.  The massive disaster caused an estimated $30 billion in damage to infrastructure, homes and industry, according to the government.

The February quake also generated a tsunami that created a scare in Hawaii. Luckily for the islands, the tsunami was not destructive.
