sorry for deadly defects, family members of those who died demand more information. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. at least five people are dead following a major earthquake off the coast of chile. it could be felt as far away as peru. residents are told to stay away from coastal towns. some saw tsunami waves higher than two meters, and after shocks have been reported.

chile's president appeared on television hours ago. declared that a number of northern provinces are disaster areas. she had this message. >> i would like to make a call for the people who live in areas to keep calm. follow the instructions of the local authorities and do everything that is necessary to ensure the security of themselves and their families. we have taken all the necessary steps to protect their lives, and the government will work as long as necessary to face this emergency and protect our compatriots. >> several hours since the quake was reported. tsunami warnings, have been cancelled, the after shocks continue to rattle the region. >> with an earthquake of this

magnitude it will happen for several weeks. tsunami watches at one point included a dozen nations, cancelled. the warnings, cancelled. the remains in hawaii. i will read it allow, from the warning center. a major tsunami is not expected to strike the state of hawaii, threats occur that may be hazardous to swimmers and boaters as well. 3:30 in the morning local time there, i think that danger will be the past at that point. by the time we are in daylight, if people want to go on the beaches of hawaii, i think that will be lifted. as far as the earthquakes, they will continue for a time. you get an 8.2, you will get

significant earthquakes. that is relatively shallow. the tsunami was generated. we don't know, it is not daylight yet, how destructive it wasn't. this was an exceptional event. it occurs once a year, can you go a year without one. this is where we are. chile, this is, if it is going to be destruction, this will be the spot that is going to be heavily hit had of the cluster you see here, the after shots we had one 6.2, which can cause significant damage. if a building was compromised already, we will have issues. people don't want to go in buildings, they are outside right now, they are scared with good season. chilly out there. that will be important, one, we

don't want inclement weather when people are outside. as the president goes out there to survey the damage, we will have clear sky, sunrise is four and a half, five hours away, at that point, we will learn the scope of this latest calamity in chile, 8.8 back in 2010. hopefully, we learned a lot of lessons since then. 500 plus people died. >> the president heads mobilized the army, to restore law and order in that area. cell phone towers are not working in some areas, highways damaged. he joined me on the phone from golden, colorado. thank you for talking with us. thankfully, the tsunami warnings have been cancelled, the worst

appears over, what does this 8.2 earthquake tell you what is ahead for the big one everyone is waiting for. >> this is already a big one. what it tells you, there will probe be a lot of after shocks in the coming weeks and months. we are going through that stage right now, we are seeing fairly significant 3.5 range every few minutes at the moment. >> we are seeing an abundance of caution on the part of authorities. what can they expect in the way of the after shocks and when it is safe to return to their homes? >> it won't be in the next two days or so there. is always a possibility of

having a quake that is larger than the 8.2. as a general rule, the main shock is proceeded by smaller quakes. sometimes, that doesn't happen quite that way. if there was enough stress in that area, to warrant a larger quake, that is a possibility over the next couple of days or so. we will probably see some significant sized aftershocks, possible in the magnitude of six or possibly in the magnitude seven range in the next several days. >> explain to us, in the initial stage, seven hours or so, there was extensive tsunami watches and warnings, that coast line, up and down the coast line, and

before we knew it, suddenly, they were cancelled. explain us us what you go through at the u.s. geological survey, to put out warnings like that. >> we don't put out warnings, that would be the noa tsunami warning center that puts out the warnings, they base it on a time frame. when this quake occurred, close to the coast it generated a localized tsunami that had a wave height around seven feet maximum in the central area. over the next couple of hours, they are able to access if there are various edpisode of waves that might be generated locally, they look at the prospect if

there is a wide wave that was generated that might propagate throughout the pacific basin. >> we appreciate you joining us, explaining that to us. thank you very much. >> thank you. now to the search for the missing malaysia flight. the probe is a criminal investigation. more people are still being interviewed. the search for a trace of the airliner and the 239 aboard continues. >> a british submarine is helping the ships already in the focus. to the east, authorities will

find where that plane went down. for the latest on the search, we are live in perth, australia. the search is is moved to the ooft as we are just reported, closer to western australia's coast. have authorities explained why they have determined the move in that direction? we have seen the search charts come out, if you look the at the search charts, there is a general area where they believe the plane went down. whatever debris might have come from the plane will be moving with the ocean currents, they have looked at the search area west of where they believe the plane went down. now, just to the east. unfortunately, we haven't had any reports of them finding any potential debris, we should be expecting the first planes back in the next hour or so, hopefully, we will have some

news when they come back. >> the other interesting part of this is that british submarine, of course, it sent going to be successful useful, until they narrow down the search zone. is there a sense that they want to throw it in there and start some sefrmt in a sense of desperation, perhaps? >> i think it is not just a sense of desperation, the fact that window is closing on finding the wreckage. they are bringing in all the possible, in case they are able to find the debris, deploy the scans, and a locator, for the u.s. navy, a submarine drone, that has sonar capability. they are all moving into the search area, in case they find a piece of the plane within that window, able to deploy them as

soon as possible. live from perth, australia, the headquarters for the search operation. still nothing found at this point. we will have more on the missing plane coming up in 30 minutes from now. including a report of lack of coordination in search areas. >> still to come, general managers coe apol is to grieving families, few answers. your education is built to help move your career forward. here's how: we work with leading employers to learn what you need to learn so classes impact your career. while helping ensure credits you've already earned pay off. and we have career planning tools
