委内瑞拉灾难性地震的幸存者——包括一名在加拉加斯电梯里遭遇首次地震的记者——将灾情描述为“一切都塌了”。
这名被困电梯的男子是记者托尼·弗兰吉，他在《CBS早间节目》中表示，这次地震“相当可怕”。周三他原本要和朋友去看世界杯比赛，刚离开大楼就开始摇晃。
“我开始祈祷，按下所有楼层按钮，等着电梯门打开，”弗兰吉说。电梯将他放到了大楼地下室。当他走出电梯时，看到建筑正在摇晃。他说大楼没有倒塌，接下来的几个小时里，他一直在等邻居和家人下楼。
起初，他没有意识到震级有多高。但当他上网后得知，加拉加斯以西发生了两场地震，震级分别为7.2级和7.5级。这是一个多世纪以来委内瑞拉遭遇的最强地震，震感强烈到哥伦比亚和巴西部分地区都有震感。地震还引发了海啸预警。

委内瑞拉代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯表示，该国北部海岸的拉瓜伊拉州是受灾最严重的地区。罗德里格斯称，至少164人遇难，900多人受伤，随着救援人员在倒塌建筑中搜寻，伤亡人数可能还会上升。罗德里格斯已宣布进入紧急状态。
拉瓜伊拉居民安东尼奥·贝穆德斯告诉法新社，地震“突如其来”。他当时在客厅里，但在大楼倒塌前逃了出来。
“我开始移动，找了一根柱子下躲避。我当时在房间和淋浴间之间。摇晃得越来越厉害，”贝穆德斯说。“我紧紧抓住墙壁，大楼开始坍塌。”
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥表示，美国正向委内瑞拉派遣搜救队、医疗资源和人道主义援助。一名国务院官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，卢比奥已致电罗德里格斯，提供美国的全面援助。萨尔瓦多也已提供援助。
“我们预计情况会更糟”
西北大学荣誉退休教授埃米尔·奥卡尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，两次地震在一分钟内接连发生。奥卡尔解释说，这意味着许多人没有足够的时间在第一轮和第二轮摇晃之间撤离所在建筑。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻气象学家罗布·马西亚诺表示，此次地震震源很浅，仅约6英里深，造成“地表更强烈的震动”。
在拥有近200栋住宅大楼的卡蒂亚拉马尔社区，“一切的一切都塌了”，居民伊尔什马里斯·布兰科告诉法新社。

“我们感谢上帝……我们还活着，但现在还有人眼睁睁看着亲人被埋、被压在废墟下，却无法将他们救出，”39岁的布兰科说。
49岁的拉里·罗哈斯表示，他的家人被困在一栋倒塌的建筑里。
“我们现在一无所有，甚至没有力气和勇气进去，”罗哈斯告诉法新社。“可想而知。”
照片显示，建筑出现大面积裂缝，墙体倒塌。其他建筑完全变成了瓦砾。该地区大部分地区已断电。罗哈斯说，人们无法获取饮用水，导致他们“渴得要命”。
“说真的，我们需要有人来帮助我们，派机械设备来。这就是我们需要的，才能进入倒塌的建筑，”罗哈斯告诉法新社。他表示，当地居民不敢进入任何建筑，即使是那些看起来还完好的建筑，因为“我们担心它们也会倒塌”。

委内瑞拉联合救援行动负责人何塞·帕切科告诉法新社，凭借30年的从业经验，他从未见过此次地震后的这种破坏场面。他表示，拉瓜伊拉州“首先需要技术援助”，呼吁加拉加斯的专业救援队前往该地区。
弗兰吉在《CBS早间节目》中表示，他看到“数百条帖子、故事和大量消息”，都是人们在寻求帮助、寻找亲人。他原本计划周五从工商管理硕士项目毕业，但这“肯定被推迟了”，他说。现在，他正等待着看看自己能如何帮助幸存者。
他还表示，他担心死亡人数会上升。
“我们看到了建筑倒塌的视频，还有数不胜数的人在寻找家人，”弗兰吉说。“所以，没错，我们预计情况会更糟。”

Venezuela earthquake survivors describe devastation: “Everything collapsed”

Survivors of the catastrophic earthquakes in Venezuela — including a journalist who was in a Caracas elevator when the first temblor struck — recounted scenes of devastation as “everything collapsed.”
The man in the elevator, journalist Tony Frangie, told “CBS Mornings” that the quake was “quite terrifying.” He had been on his way to watch a World Cup match with friends on Wednesday and was just leaving his building when the shaking started.
“I started to pray and to press every button, waiting for it to open up,” Frangie said. The elevator let him out in the building’s basement. When he went outside, he saw that the structure was shaking. The building stayed standing, he said, and he spent the next several hours waiting as neighbors and family came downstairs.
At first, he didn’t realize how big it was. But when he went online, he learned that two earthquakes, one with a magnitude of 7.2 and the other 7.5, had struck west of Caracas. The quakes are the strongest to hit Venezuela in over a century, and were so powerful that the shaking could be felt in parts of Colombia and Brazil. They also sparked tsunami alerts.

La Guaira, a state on the country’s northern coast, was the hardest hit, Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said. At least 164 people were killed and more than 900 injured, Rodríguez said, with the toll likely to rise as rescuers search collapsed buildings. Rodríguez has declared a state of emergency.
La Guaira resident Antonio Bermudez told the AFP news agency that the shaking began “all of a sudden.” He was in his living room, he said, but escaped his building before it collapsed.
“I started to move, I looked for shelter under a column. I was between my room and the shower. It shook harder and harder,” Bermudez sid. “I held onto the wall and the building started to come down.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. is deploying search teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid to Venezuela. A state department official told CBS News that Rubio called Rodríguez and offered the full assistance of the United States. El Salvador has also offered its assistance.
“We expect it to get worse”
The two quakes took place within a minute, Northwestern University professor emeritus Emile Okal told CBS News. That meant that many people did not have enough time to evacuate the buildings they were in between the first and second rounds of shaking, Okal explained.
CBS News meteorologist Rob Marciano said the quakes were shallow, only about six miles deep, creating “more violent shaking at the surface.”
In the neighborhood of Catia La Mar, which holds nearly 200 housing towers, “everything, everything collapsed,” resident Yilsmaris Blanco told AFP.

“We thank God because … we’re alive, but there are people right now suffering with their relatives buried, with their relatives crushed and they can’t get them out,” Blanco, 39, said.
Larry Rojas, 49, said his family was trapped in a collapsed building.
“We have nothing, right now we have nothing, not even the strength or the courage to go in there,” Rojas told AFP. “Just imagine.”
Photos show buildings with large cracks and fallen walls. Other structures were completely reduced to rubble. Much of the area has no electricity. People do not have access to water, Rojas said, leaving them “dying of thirst.”
“Really, we need someone to help us, to send machinery. That’s what we need to get into the buildings that have collapsed,” Rojas told AFP. He said that area residents are afraid to enter any buildings, even the ones left standing, because “we’re afraid it will collapse too.”

Jose Pacheco, the operations chief of the United Rescue Group of Venezuela, told AFP that he had never seen anything like the aftermath of these earthquakes in his 30 years of experience. He said La Guaira needs “help, above all technical help,” calling on specialized teams from Caracas to travel to the region.
Frangie told “CBS Mornings” that he has seen “hundreds of posts and stories and lots of messages of people” looking for help and searching for loved ones. He was supposed to be graduating from his MBA program on Friday, but that is “definitely suspended,” he said. Instead, he is waiting to see how he help survivors.
He also said he fears the death toll will rise.
“We’ve seen videos of buildings collapsing and never-ending amount of people looking for families,” Frangie said. “So, yeah, we expect it to get worse.”
