The video documenting the rescue of Dayane Patine and her son, Juan David, has circulated widely on social media, prompting many Venezuelans to view it as a significant source of hope following two devastating earthquakes that have claimed at least 1,450 lives. While search operations for additional survivors continue, reports indicate that the probability of finding more survivors is diminishing daily. Speaking to the BBC, Patine recounted the severe ordeal she endured at a clinic in Caracas.
She stated that the tremors began while she was washing dishes. Immediately following the shaking, she rushed toward her son. Patine described the experience as disorienting, stating, “I felt like I was flying.
Then like I was sinking into water and earth. I fell into a pit where I was trapped. I don’t know how I didn’t let the child out of my hands.
I was squeezed by pieces of furniture.”
The account details the intense pressure she experienced while trapped under the rubble. Her initial reaction was to scream in panic. The rescue highlights the immediate danger faced by individuals caught in the collapsed structure.
The incident involving Patine has become a focal point of discussion amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Despite the efforts to locate more victims, the gravity of the disaster and the sheer volume of destruction underscore the magnitude of the loss across the affected regions.
