Nepal Quake Survivors Recount ‘Sky Falling’ Moment

A devastating magnitude-6.4 earthquake shook western Nepal overnight Friday, claiming 157 lives as rescue teams scramble through rubble in remote villages. Survivors described terrifying scenes as homes collapsed, with one resident recalling: \"I felt like the sky was falling.\"

The shallow quake—striking just 11 miles deep—flattened buildings and left families trapped. Local officials warn casualties may rise as searches continue. CGTN interviews revealed raw accounts of survival, including a resident who escaped when their roof caved in: \"We were sleeping… then everything collapsed.\"

Global aid groups are mobilizing, but rugged terrain complicates relief efforts. Stay tuned for updates as Nepal faces its deadliest quake since 2015.
