  "account": "Colombian rescue teams raced to find survivors trapped under collapsed buildings two days after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the country's western valleys and coffee-growing region, killing nearly 250 people. Rescue workers warned there was only a critical 72-hour window left for finding survivors. The 7.4-magnitude quake, which hit just after 7 a.m. local time on Monday, also injured over 3,700 people, destroyed more than 9,500 homes and impacted more than 30,000 families in the nation. In Cali, Colombia's third-largest city, over 56 buildings collapsed, killing at least 95 people and injuring nearly 1,000 others. In Pereira, located deep in the coffee-growing region, at least 79 people were reported dead with 300 missing.",
