‘Like a horror movie’: Venezuela reeling from deadly earthquakes

At least 164 people have been killed and 971 injured after Venezuela’s most powerful earthquake in more than a century, according to the country’s acting President Delcy Rodriguez. The 7.5 magnitude quake struck less than a minute after a 7.2 magnitude foreshock.

A resident who survived a quake that hit Caracas in 1967 said the disaster was unlike anything he had experienced. Another resident who escaped a damaged building said “the scene was like a horror movie.”

CNN News Central anchors Sara Sidner and John Berman describe videos showing buildings being damaged by the earthquake. Also, journalist Noris Soto, seismologist Adam Pascale and CNN contributor Stefano Pozzebon have the latest details.
