00:00One month after the double earthquake that struck Venezuela, affecting thousands of people,
00:05the Telestor family joins in the half-fled tributes being paid across the country from its headquarters.
00:11Nantobar has the details.
00:14Telestor paid a heartfelt tribute at its headquarters in the Venezuelan capital
00:18to the victims of the double earthquake that occurred on June 24.
00:22This event left a lasting mark on the lives of Venezuelans and also on the channel's employees,
00:27who, shortly after 6 downer p.m. that day, experienced a moment that changed their lives forever.
00:35The first priority was to safeguard everyone's lives, following safety protocols to evacuate all staff.
00:43Once that was done, we confirmed that everything was okay.
00:47The building appeared to be intact.
00:52Immediately, the president began contacting each of us one by one.
00:56Look, we need to spring into action.
00:59We have to go on air right away.
01:01This seems serious.
01:02We're going to go live no matter what.
01:04Of course, there were only three of us, four people total at the station.
01:08First, we had to protect the rest of the staff and go on the air with minimal equipment.
01:16After we went on the air,
01:19that's when we began to grasp the true magnitude of the earthquake and everything that had happened.
01:26The books I have in my office fell on top of me.
01:31The computer and the monitors I have there fell on top of us.
01:37But that was nothing compared to what I had to go through later
01:44because that same day I was assigned to go down to La Guayra
01:47and it was important to tell people what was happening.
01:53In other words, I experienced a double earthquake in that sense.
