The second Venezuela stops trending, it is like the earthquake never happened for most people. But on the ground it is still hell.
It is the same cycle every time. Earthquake hits . Buildings collapse. Hundreds dead quickly.
At first the videos are everywhere. Rubble, screams, bodies pulled out. Everyone suddenly cares and shares.
Then it slows. The dramatic clips stop. The attention moves on and it becomes old news.
On the ground nothing has changed. People are still trapped, still sleeping outside in the ruins, still out there with bare hands moving concrete looking for loved ones. Families digging and digging even when they probably know what they will find.
