The 1960 Valdivia Earthquake and tsunami or the Great Chilean earthquake on 22 May 1960 was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. Various studies have placed it at 9.4-9.6 on the moment magnitude there were Approximately 1,655 Deaths that happened when this Earthquake struck.
The Haiti earthquake 2010 started on the hour of 4:53 PM - night.On Tuesday 12th January 2010.
There have been a number of "famous" or perhaps "infamous" Chilean earthquakes, including the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake, which with a magnitude of 9.5 was the largest ever recorded by seismometer. Another was the earthquake that occured in February 2010 shortly after the devestating Haitian earthquake of January 2010. For more information, please see the related question and links.
