“For anyone wondering why the mother picked the child up from the couch instead of leaving them there, it was to avoid them being trapped if the house collapsed. More than 30 bodies had already been recovered from collapsed structures during ongoing rescue efforts. She made the right decision.”

capmcepp:

“Incredible force of nature. It won’t let you get away. The mother tries to get out and falls. Amazing how the child is wobbling. My God.”

“Oh my God! I can only imagine what that mother felt at that moment.”
