Mexico City devastated in 7+ quake

Mexico City devastated in 7+ quake
Just on the news, building facades raining debris all over the city, dust clouds rising from the wreckage,
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Just that one picture, showing plumes of dust rising all over the city is confirmation this is a serious quake.

I'm trying to get the picture.

Traffic grid locking everywhere.

People fleeing buildings into streets.

Glass/concrete raining from buildings.

Gas leaks.

Power failures.

No pictures from epicenter area.

Not good at all, Mexico City is largely built on landfill and liquefaction will be a major factor, drawing out the length of time the buildings are subject to stress.

Amazing how much video has come out so quickly.

View from hirise building of dust rising from all over the city is shocking.

They said its the 32nd anniversary of another bad quake.

Hope they've beefed up building standards.

They have, but there are still a lot of old buildings in Mexico, and I have little doubt at least some cheating is going on in new construction.

Another quake? They had one happen right around the time of Harvey or Irma, IIRC. And that was an 8 on the scale. What the hell is going on with this part of the world recently?
