As the building shook, two guests in the studio moved past the camera to exit the premises. One of them even captured footage of the unfolding event. Despite the persistent movement, Torres Aybar did not waver. "We understand that the guests are leaving to safeguard their integrity. It is still lasting, we feel this movement. Experience must show us that we have to be calm," she added, her professional demeanor a stark contrast to the chaotic situation.
