00:00Good evening and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:03Today is Monday the 10th, Monday 2610, August 2026 and 270.
00:11Practically we have just a few hours, a day or two, and we will actually enter the end of the
00:17Lunar Hijri month, and as we know the ends of the Lunar Hijri month, it causes an increase in
00:24earthquakes and tremors around the world. A short while ago, we mentioned in breaking news that a
00:31devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale struck just a little while ago.
00:38About an hour and a half or two hours ago, the Americas, specifically Colombia, was hit with a
00:45magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale. First of all, before we continue, those with weak hearts,
00:52don't watch, don't continue this episode. Those with weak hearts, don't continue this episode.
00:59No, because we will be showing horrific scenes of the destruction caused by this devastating
01:05earthquake in Colombia a short while ago. But before we move on, shall we see what kind of
01:10destruction this earthquake caused? We see that in less than two months, three devastating earthquakes
01:18have struck the American continent, and this has never happened before. Three devastating earthquakes
01:26struck Central and South America in less than two months. The Venezuela earthquake, 7.8, the Mexico
01:33earthquake, 7.4, and today, the Colombia earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 on the Richter scale.
01:41Personally, in at least the last 50 or 70 years, this hasn't happened. Or did it? That three devastating
01:49earthquakes hit, in less than two months, countries close to each other, Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico.
01:57Alright, let's go. Let's watch the collapse. Let's see.
02:02The first clip shows many houses collapsing in the cities of Pereira and Chaco. By the way, Pereira is the
02:11epicenter
02:12of the devastating earthquake, while many other house facades were also damaged. In Manizales and also
02:23in the city of Cali. So now let's continue watching this destruction and the collapse of the houses.
02:32All of these are recent videos that have just reached us one after another, and they are still coming.
02:39So these are initial scenes coming to us now from Colombia, and we are showing them to you live. Let's
02:47go,
02:47let's go, let's go, and now let's watch this second clip. How did it start?
02:55Of course, this is the second clip that you are seeing in front of you now on the screen, as
02:59reports started
03:00coming in one after another. Now I am live with you. About the extent of the damage, reports are coming
03:06in one after another about the extent of the damage there in Colombia. As you saw, this is the second
03:13clip,
03:14and it is also coming to us live. Let's go to perhaps one of the most dangerous ones.
03:20The clips that I am going to show you now, the clips. A clip recorded by one of the surveillance
03:26cameras, a clip that was filmed by one of the surveillance cameras from the city of Cali in
03:32Colombia. And this clip documents the collapse of several buildings together in the city of Cali.
03:39In Colombia, so the collapse of several buildings in the city of Cali in Colombia, meaning more like
03:45apartment buildings, not just houses, but even high-rise buildings, they all collapse together.
03:51And do you see how the smoke or dust is coming out from more than one place? And this dust,
03:59of course, is the result of the destruction of the building or the structure. So this huge amount of
04:06dust comes out. The victims, guys, there are a lot of victims. According to the videos we're seeing,
04:14there are a lot. I mean, I imagine that, of course, the reports start by saying 10, then 20,
04:20then 50, then 100. I expect with such a devastating earthquake, the number of victims could reach more
04:26than a thousand people, especially since Colombia is not like Japan. Most of the buildings there are
04:33built and designed to seismic building codes, meaning they're constructed according to earthquake-resistant
04:40standards. Anyway, let's go and see. This is the fourth clip documenting the collapse of one of the
04:48churches, specifically the collapse of the dome of the Metropolitan Cathedral in the city of Manizales
04:55and Caldas after the devastating earthquake. By the way, this is a historic dome. This church is one of
05:03the oldest. There's no one left inside those churches in Colombia or in Venezuela or even in Mexico,
05:11because the earthquake and the effects of the devastating earthquake, as we said, reached several
05:16countries, six or seven countries, including the United States of America and also including the state of
05:23Florida. So we have already seen this fourth clip, the collapse parts of this historic church or rather
05:31the historic cathedral from there as well. Come on, let's go take a look. This is the fifth clip,
05:41which depicts or captures the beginning of the collapse of the structure, this massive building
05:47or this huge building in Colombia and how during the collapse of this building or as this building
05:55was crumbling and collapsing and how people were fleeing in every direction. Glory be to God.
06:03Scenes like this remind you of the day of judgment. The whole scene makes it look like people are
06:08fleeing. Everyone is saying every man for himself, every man for himself, and people are. And the building is
06:14collapsing, which means those who were inside definitely didn't have time to escape. This
06:19building probably contains dozens, if not hundreds of people. I don't know if people are clarifying
06:25things for us, like in Colombia, did they receive the warning through their phones, like what happened
06:30in Egypt? How did people or even like what happened in Mexico, how it was sent through Android devices,
06:38Google sent people a warning 10 seconds, 20 seconds or 30 seconds before, depending on how far you are
06:46from the center of this devastating earthquake. There are reports now. Honestly, what happened is very
06:53frightening. There are reports coming to us now. Unfortunately, several thousand reports are now coming
07:00from Colombia. Several thousand people. It is expected that they are under the rubble at this time.
07:08So, breaking news, thousands of people are now under the rubble in Colombia. It is confirmed that this
07:15devastating earthquake will cause earthquakes and tremors in different countries around the world.
07:19Most likely, most countries in the world have felt this earthquake, wherever you are. Especially the areas
07:25that have been hit by earthquakes recently. They'll feel tremors in their areas. Let us know in the
07:31comments. We're here with Ahmad al-Dram, Audi Makandi, on what's happening. Hope you're well.
