Venezuela declares state of emergency after powerful twin quakes
Venezuela's interim leader declared a state of emergency Wednesday as two massive earthquakes caused buildings in the capital to crumble and forced the closure of the country's main airport. "We went out through the emergency stairs; that's how they got us out," the 42-year-old told AFP. Dozens more in the capital exited buildings and waited outside before returning to their offices and homes.
