Thanks OP, for not mentioning anything about the event. What airport, or where it was, or what intensity the earthquake was. Really great post.

Tremor occurred at in Colombia, August 10th, 2026, magnitude 7.4, at the Matacaña International Airport in Pereira. Sustained structural damage. 09:3 4a.m.

Edit: This earthquake affected Colombia, Ecuador and Panama. At least 111 people have been killed (according to Abelardo de la Espriella) and dozens of buildings have collapsed in cities across western Colombia.
