Jose Alberto Gallipoli Lameda expressed gratitude on Friday, June 26, after his family was rescued from earthquake rubble in Venezuela. They were found alive nearly 26 hours after twin quakes struck.
Video from his son, Jofram, showed himself, his wife, and their four-year-old son trapped in a collapsed building before rescuers saved them on Thursday, June 25. Lameda described their survival in the cramped space as miraculous.
The Wednesday evening disasters killed 920 people, injured 3,360, and left over 50,000 missing in Caracas and surrounding areas. The government reports 172 people remain trapped.
