New footage from Venezuela, attributed to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), documents the severe damage caused by the powerful earthquake that struck Thursday. The images show collapsed buildings and widespread structural destruction, adding to earlier reports of devastation across the country.
The earthquake — initially reported as a magnitude 7.1 event, with subsequent tremors of 7.2 and 7.5 — left widespread damage in Caracas and other cities. As The Zioneer reported earlier, Venezuela declared a state of emergency, closed its main airport, and rescue crews have been pulling survivors from the rubble. The extent of casualties remains unclear.
Thursday morning's video footage corroborates earlier damage assessments and offers additional ground-level perspective on the destruction in affected areas.
