The international terminal at the Santiago, Chile Airport (SCL) was inspected the morning of March 6, 2010. The airport recently started accepting international flights, but the actual international terminal remained closed. Arriving passengers collected their baggage plane-side and proceeded through two temporary large tents housing immigration and customs services.

The team sent its first preliminary reports early this morning. They include visits to the Santiago International Airport, Félix Bulnes Hospital, a condominium complex with multi-story buildings, the main Santiago hospital and Vespucio Mall.
The team is planning to meet with the Ministry of Health again today, and will be joined by Eduardo Miranda, Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Stanford University. They visited a hospital in Rancagua and are continuing south to Talca, where more serious damage has been reported.
