Chile: Sebastian Pinera sworn in as President

Sebastian Pinera was sworn in as new Chilean President. During the ceremony strong aftershocks rocked the country for the second time in two weeks.
In Valparaiso, the city where dozens of heads-of-state and other dignitaries were gathered, citizens gathered on high ground after a tsunami warning was issued by local authorities.
The warning was later lifted for everyone except Easter Island but it followed three massive aftershocks, the strongest at 6.9 magnitude.
