Strong Ecuador quake leaves 28 dead and evacuations under way
A powerful earthquake measuring the strongest in decades hit Ecuador centered 16 miles south-southeast of Muisne. Reports say 28 people died in Manta and surrounding areas where homes collapsed and a shopping center roof failed. The airport tower in Manta collapsed injuring an air force official as dams and pipelines were shut as a precaution. President Correa, in Rome, urged calm while authorities monitor aftershocks and a potential tsunami risk prompted evacuations along the coast.
