Chile landslide leaves 5 dead, 15 missing


(CNN) At least five people are dead and 15 are still missing after a landslide swept through a remote village in southern Chile on Saturday, the country's president said. The deadly catastrophe devastated the town of Villa Santa Lucia, near a popular national park in the Chaitén region following a deluge of rain on Friday. Aerial video of the devastation showed debris and portions of the village half-buried beneath the mud in the valley, where emergency responders are continuing to search for the missing. The Chilean President also offered her condolences to the families, saying on Twitter: "My deepest condolences to the families of Elsa Pineda and Claudia Ojeda, victims of the barrage in #VillaSantaLucía. Chile is with you!"
