Collapsed Buildings, Debris: Satellite Pics Show Impact Of Venezuela Earthquakes
Two powerful earthquakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 hit Venezuela on Wednesday night, killing at least 235 people and injuring over 4,000. The "doublet" earthquake left behind a trail of damage - collapsed buildings, crumbled roofs and piles of debris with people buried under the rubble. Rescue operations are still underway.
High-resolution satellite imagery sourced from Vantor confirms the widespread structural damage caused by the two deadly earthquakes. Destruction can be seen across La Guaira, north of Caracas, with dozens of high-rise apartment buildings collapsed in the Playa Grande neighborhood north of the Simon Bolivar Airport.
