- Jenrry Mejia, a former New York Mets pitcher, claims he narrowly escaped death during the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.
- Mejia attributes his survival to "divine intervention" after an elevator in his Caracas hotel unexpectedly took him to the basement instead of his sixth-floor room.
- This allowed him to flee the building just 40 seconds before it collapsed, and he also managed to rescue an elderly man.
- The baseball player lost all his possessions and is currently unable to return to the Dominican Republic due to suspended flights.
- The earthquakes, measuring 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude, have resulted in at least 235 confirmed deaths and 40,000 missing people, leading to a declared state of emergency.
