At least 10 people were killed following a 5.3 magnitude earthquake in southern Spain on Wednesday. Local media reports say dozens more are injured. Buildings crumbled and cars were crushed under rubble in the town of Lorca. Spanish TV crews captured dramatic footage of a massive church bell crashing to the ground, landing metres from the cameraman. The quake followed a 4.4 magnitude tremor just two hours earlier.
