Video Shows the Extensive Damage Caused by Powerful 7.8-Magnitude Earthquake in Ecuador
April 18, 2016
Drone video captured a collapsed highway overpass in Guayaquil, Ecuador — located about 180 miles from the epicenter — after a powerful magnitude-7.8 earthquake devastated the area over the weekend.
The one-minute-33-second aerial video showed the buckled bridge surrounded by construction crews and onlookers.
The video shows just a fraction of the structural damage caused by what the country’s vice president referred to as “the strongest quake” to hit the country’s central coast in “decades.”
