Man Captures Tremor From Ecuador Earthquake While Snapchatting Friends

A New York man on holiday in Ecuador has captured the moment the second tremor from an earthquake struck while he was snap-chatting friends to tell them he was safe.

Christian Sarmiento, from Port Washington, Long Island, said he woke up to the room shaking and his uncle and cousins yelling “temblor!” on the morning of Friday, February 22.

“After the first earthquake I was left a little shook, but I was taking a Snapchat mocking the situation to send to friends back home to let them know we were all fine,” he said. “That’s when the second hit.” Credit: Christian Sarmiento via Storyful
