What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNew since then: Newsmax reports tsunami warnings across Central and South America, with damaged buildings and residents rushing into the streets.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJoining me by satellite is a source familiar with the matter, speaking anonymously from a parking garage. Sir, what do you know?

  3. Anonymous SourceI can't say my name. I can't say my level. I'm on level three, which I just said. Forget level three.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, Newsmax says buildings were damaged. Can you confirm anything about the tsunami alerts?

  5. Anonymous SourceI can confirm that there is concrete around me, and it is holding. That's all I've got. Possibly the whole story.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, you are standing in a garage. You are not a seismologist, and you are not in Panama.

  7. Anonymous SourceI have a cousin who felt a rumble once in Ohio. Different thing, but I consider myself adjacent. Also my car alarm is going off.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI've been asked to leave eleven embassies, and this is the least informed briefing I've ever received.

  9. Anonymous SourceMa'am, my sources are a vending machine and a guy named Gary. Gary says stay calm. Gary also says nothing.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFor viewers: rely on official alerts, not Gary. Newsmax reports warnings across the region. Details are still developing.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSir, we'll have to leave it there. Please find level one. Preferably with daylight.
