One more year...
Today, 24 years ago, Mexico suffered one of the worst tragedies in our history. A magnitude 8.1 earthquake struck Mexico city on 19 September 1985 at 7:19 local time, caused the deaths of about 10,000 people and serious damage in the city. The complete seismic event consisted of four quakes. The main and most powerful shock occurred 19 September, followed by two aftershocks.
The amount of people who died is not certain, some say it was about 2 or 3 thousand, but I consider that the number was even bigger...
Some were sleeping, others already at work...some walking on the streets when this horrible earthquake surprised them ...The earthquake had long-term consequences in everybody lives, especially of those who unfortunately were injured, lost their families or relatives & their houses.
But one more time, Mexican showed that we can be together, supporting each other no matter how difficult the situation is...
I was only one year, but my sisters told me it was really shocking to see what was happening in Mexico city on the TV.
As many other dates, this is one we will never forget!!
