My country is Venezuela and my name is John Rodriguez.

My name is Juan and I'm in Caracas in the capital.

My name is Carolina Hill.

I live near the most important military complex here in Venezuela.

Early January 3rd, it was like 157 a.m.

And I was watching a movie with my sister,

and everything went completely dark.

And five seconds later, we heard the first explosion. I ran to the window to take a look at what was going

on. My hands were shaking. I could only see the light of the moon. And we could hear the airplanes

and we could hear the helicopters, but we couldn't see them.

And the walls of my building and the windows were shaking.

I thought now the Ringoes are here. They are attacking Caracas.

Everybody in the city heard the noises.

I think we were nervous, but at the same time excited, because we thought they were overthrowing the government.

They were freeing us from the dictatorship.

Like my girlfriend and I were crying and screaming.

I called my mom.

I called my brothers.

I called all my family.

We were waiting for that for years.

When Donald Trump put up the picture with Maduro capture, I am so happy in that moment.

Oh my God, man. Honestly, I cried for that picture. It's finished that.
