120 Dead After 7.1M Quake Hits Mexico, Collapses Buildings

Thousands fled into the streets in panic, and many stayed to help rescue those trapped. Dozens of buildings tumbled into mounds of rubble or were severely damaged in densely populated parts of Mexico City and nearby states. Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said buildings fell at 44 places in the capital alone as high-rises across the city swayed sickeningly. The quake is the deadliest in Mexico since a 1985 quake on the same date killed 9,500. It came less than two weeks after another powerful quake caused 90 deaths in the country's south.
