"They're trying to find survivors after those two successive earthquakes devastated Venezuela's capital. There were 7.5 and 7.2 magnitude earthquakes and they happened within the space of a minute. They rocked the city in scenes that residents say was reminiscent of a horror movie.
Smoke was seen rising above the skyline, buildings swaying across the capital. At SimoneBolivar International Airport, just north of Carapus, travelers ran for cover as the ceiling gave way.
U.S. President Donald Trump has responded to those earthquakes in Venezuela. In a post on Truth Social, he writes, "The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths. The USA stands ready, willing, and able to help." He says, "I've instructed all our agencies of our government to get ready and to move quickly. We will be there for the our new and great friends. Early
