A bell tower fell from a church during an earthquake yesterday in the Spanish town of Lorca, landing metres away from a reporter giving a piece to camera. The moment is captured in the video above.

South-eastern Spain was hit first yesterday by a 4.4 magnitude earthquake. Two hours later a magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck. At least 10 people were killed and many historic buildings badly damaged. ·
