'I Think It Was God': Ex-Mets Pitcher Jenrry Mejia Narrowly Escapes Death as Venezuela Earthquake Strikes Hotel

Nicholas McEntyre : Jun 26, 2026  New York Post

[NYPost.com] Former Mets pitcher Jenrry Mejia credited "divine intervention" for saving his life when his elevator brought him to the wrong floor inside his Venezuela hotel moments before the building collapsed during a pair of earthquakes that left over 500 people dead. ... "I was in the gym area. And at that moment, I took the elevator to leave," Mejia said. "In fact, I had pressed number 6, which was where my floor was. But ... I think it was God because instead of going up, it went down to the basement." ... Mejia called it an act of "divine intervention" that brought him to the bottom floor and out of the hotel, 40 seconds before it crumbled. "The door opened directly into the lobby. That's when I came out and the building started to collapse. With the agility I have, I helped an elderly gentleman. I was able to drag him away, take him with me," he told the station. "I think only he and I (came out alive), the others are still there, trapped under the rubble."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here Click Here to read.
