Overview

• The platform carrying the image tilted on Avenida Tacna around 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 4, and cargadores steadied it quickly with no reported damage or major injuries.
• Local TV reported the order to move was not executed simultaneously by the brotherhood, producing an uneven lift that caused the tilt.
• Videos of the near-fall filmed by attendees spread across social media as the first outing drew large crowds through central Lima.
• The anda weighs more than a metric ton, and cuadrillas of 34 porters rotate every 5 to 7 minutes to limit fatigue under established protocols.
• The six-procession program continues on Oct. 18, 19, 28 and 29, and Nov. 1, with an extraordinary visit to Callao planned for the first time in 22 years.
