More than 170 tremors have been felt in the coastal town of Navidad in quake-prone Chile in just five weeks. The strongest - of 5.9 magnitude - struck during a funeral and sent panicked mourners fleeing into the street. The town, with a population of 5,500, has become one of the shakiest spots on Earth.
