Episode Details

Two devastating earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5, struck northern Venezuela in rapid succession, triggering catastrophic destruction and claiming the lives of four members of the rising nu metal band Van Der Dijs—Manuel, Gabriel, Xander, and Abraham—who were rehearsing when their building collapsed. The quake’s aftermath has left thousands missing, tens of thousands displaced, and rescue operations crippled by shortages and a sluggish government response. A damaging aftershock just days later has further hampered recovery, while international aid begins to flow as the UN estimates billions needed to rebuild. Venezuela now faces one of its darkest moments, with grief, devastation, and urgent humanitarian needs overwhelming the nation.
