At least 188 people are dead and thousands remain missing after a pair of earthquakes hit northern Venezuela Wednesday, the strongest to strike the country in more than a century. The magnitude-7.5 and 7.2 quakes caused widespread devastation, and rescue efforts are underway Thursday to find survivors trapped in the rubble. Rescue teams, including first responders from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, continue to pull victims from debris fields, some alive and others dead.
