Fort-de-France, Martinique – A video posted by X user Andreas Mussigbrodt shows a surgical team continuing an operation as a magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck on October 27, 2025.
Filmed through an observation window, the footage captures staff in scrubs working on a draped patient beneath bright surgical lights while the room trembles.

Monitors in the room display jittery ECG waveforms and fluctuating vital signs as equipment shifts. IV stands and a Medtronic device can be seen swaying slightly, yet the medical team remains focused and does not stop the procedure.
