“Everything Collapsed In 7 To 10 Seconds” – First‑Hand Voice From Venezuela’s Earthquakes

A young Venezuelan woman describes how “seven to ten seconds” of shaking was enough to bring down more than a hundred buildings in La Guaira, one of the areas worst hit by Venezuela’s back‑to‑back 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes. She says most of the people dying are young, that friends were pulled from the rubble while others never made it out, and that overwhelmed hospitals and slow, under‑resourced rescue teams mean civilians are doing much of the digging themselves.
