Occurred on September 19, 2017 / Mexico City, Mexico
Info from Licensor: "Two hours before the quake there was a foreshock and Tania, my sister, and I went to grab the lamps in case they trembled. Two hours later, I was on the terrace and the floor started to jump, I started to tell Tania that it could be a quake and she told me to grab the lamps. When I grabbed the lamps I started to film without thinking about the magnitude of the quake. During the trembling, we saw through the window as everything was dust and as a building collapsed. Tania and I were very scared and all she did was ask her angels to protect us. After a minute, I dropped the lamp and stopped recording and I told Tania that if the building falls I want to be hugged to her and we began to hug and cry. We were on the top floor of the building that was the 11th floor and that minute of the tremor was the worst minute of my life and I saw images of her passing by every second and with this one realizes how life is so fragile and that one minute to another you can die. I thank God for being alive and for giving me the opportunity to help people who did not had the same luck as we did."
