This a second part from a previous post I made of the Mexican earthquake that happen on September 7.
Summary:
There as been an amount of earthquakes since September 7. The greatest one on September 19, the anniversary of the 1985 Mexican earthquake. That earthquake kill almost 10,000 and the earthquake that happen in the present has killed almost 300.Another Earthquake that happen is in Oaxaca, it was a smaller quae but it was closer to the surface which causes more damaged. See, even thought the earthquake wasn't of large magnitude, the closer to the surface can create more damage to buildings. And that is what it did. Oaxaca had already been affected by the sept.7 earthquake and now with this after shook the city is devastation. One good thing that has come from this thought is the strength and the willingness to help. Right after the Sept. 19 quake Mexicans in Mexico City rushed to help people stuck in buildings, help people get food/water ,and also help doctors/nurses with healing people that are hurt.
Analysis:
Right after this happen my mother told me were she was when the 1985 Earthquake hit. She was about 15, she was in her house in Monterrey. When my grandmother turn on the small TV they had. The news were coming in of a grand earthquake that hit Mexico City. There was already people telling of what happen in the buildings that had come down. My mom explain to me that it was scary how you could see the building that had come down. I would recommend seeing some of those videos on YouTube.( I will leave a link) For me though, what amazes me is how strong Mexicans are. The first thing they started doing is helping each other. They did focus on the damage but they panic for a sec. then started heling their neighbors, friends, and strangers. I hope everything turns all right for them.
