ACKNOWLEDGMENT: All photographs of damage are used for educational purposes only without any financial benefit of any kind to anyone.
9
Mexico has a long historical record of damaging earthquakes
10
FAULTS: COCOS PLATE SUBDUCTION ZONE
11
CAUSE OF MEXICO’s SEISMICITY
The interaction of the Cocos and North American plates is the main causative factor for the seismicity of Mexico.
12
CAUSE OF BUILDING DAMAGE IN MEXICO CITY
The soft sediments of the old lake bed zone in Mexico city---now the foundation of many tall buildings--- amplifies ground motion in the 2.0 second period band---the fundamental period of many of the tall buildings.
13
PERIOD-DEPENDENT AMPLIFICATION IN MEXICO CITY’s LAKE BED AONE
14
EARLY REPORTS (SEPT. 19-20 data subject to change)
COLLAPSED/PANCAKED BUILDINGS IN MEXICO CITY’s LAKE BED ZONE OFFICES, SCHOOLS, HOMES, HOSPITALS DAMAGED 21 SCHOOL CHILDREN KILLED IN COLLAPSED ENRIQUE REBSAMEN SCHOOL; OTHERS MISSING. AT LEAST 225 DEATHS
15
EXAMPLE OF PANCAKED BUILDING
16
LATER REPORTS (SEPT. 21 data subject to change)
Nearly 5 million homes, businesses and other facilities lost electricity, including 40 percent of homes in Mexico City. The earthquake tore gas mains and sparked fires across the city and other towns in central Mexico .
17
EARLY REPORTS (Subject to change)
THOUSANDS RUSHED OUTSIDE DAMAGED BUILDINGS; LATER SLEPT OUTSIDE TO AVOID BEING TRAPPED AFTER AFTERSHOCKS INSTANTANEOUS SEARCH AND RESCUE ROADS AND BRIDGES DAMAGED AIRPORT CLOSED

SEPT. 23, 2017: WAY BEYOND THE GOLDEN 48 HOURS FOR S & R
AT LEAST 305 CONFIRMED DEATHS; MANY BELIEVED TO BE BURIED UNDER THE RUBBLE “ZERO PROBABILITY” OF FINDING ANYONE STILL ALIVE UNDER THE RUBBLE RECOVERY PHASE IS NEXT
