· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

Rescue teams in La Guaira, Venezuela, successfully located a 43-year-old security guard named Hernán Gil trapped in the basement of a collapsed shopping mall. Using a technique of calling and listening, rescuers from the Costa Rican Red Cross provided him with water via a tube after he had gone five days without food. Gil remains conscious and reported that he is not pinned under debris. However, the final extraction process is risky and may take several more hours due to ongoing falling debris. Rescuers have been working for over 29 hours, receiving support from teams from Colombia, Mexico, Chile, the U.S., and Venezuela.
