Firefighters try to extinguish a fire on a restaurant by the sea shore after the powerful earthquake hit off Chile’s Pacific coast.

CCTV footage of how Chile felt the 8.2 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast of the South American country was released on Tuesday.

The reaction of the quake is seen captured by a CCTV camera in an office in Chile.

The footage shows the office trembling by the force of the quake, computers falling off tables and how even the CCTV camera shakes disrupting the video capturing.
