A video circulating Monday reportedly captures the moment last Thursday's deadly earthquake hit Venezuela from inside a passenger aircraft. The footage, described as showing the plane jolting and passengers screaming, has not been independently verified.
The headline "Documentation from the inferno: The moment the deadly earthquake began in Venezuela" is circulating on Monday, accompanied by footage said to show the tremor's impact from inside a passenger aircraft. The exact source and circumstances of the recording have not been confirmed independently.
The Zioneer has previously covered the Thursday, June 25 earthquake — a magnitude 7.1 tremor that killed at least 164 people in Venezuela, according to authorities, causing widespread destruction in Caracas and La Guaira. The new footage adds a visceral, first-person perspective to that established disaster, though no specific location, airline, or time has been verified.
The clip appears plausible given the well-documented severity of the quake, but has not been corroborated by additional sources at this stage.
