  abstract = {{B}etween 2010 and 2015 three giant earthquakes occurred in the {C}hilean subduction where the oceanic {N}azca plate plunges under {S}outh {A}merica. {T}hese were the largest events there since the gigantic {M}9.5 1960 earthquake so their close occurrences raise the question of a possible link between them. {W}e show here that two-and-a-half days after the {M}8.2 {I}quique earthquake, seismic activity started to increase downdip below (depth similar to 100km) the future {I}llapel epicenter. {T}his increase, which began with the largest intermediate-depth earthquake in the {C}hilean subduction after {I}quique, lasted until the {M}8.3 {I}llapel earthquake, 18months later. {T}he mechanisms involved suggest that the {I}quique earthquake started a tear in the slab directly downdip from the future epicenter. {T}his study relies on seismicity which occurs in the cold core of the slab and which is the only direct information we have on processes occurring at these depths. {T}he results support that giant earthquakes interact at the scale of a subducting plate and suggest that this interaction occurs through the deep slab.},
