Can you imagine flying over Mexico as an aftershock from one of the world’s most deadly quakes shakes the earth below? I can’t, but my dad has the memory of that exact situation.
The Mexico City Earthquake of 1985 killed over 10,000 people and left more than 250,000 without homes. Hundreds of buildings crumbled, and beneath Juarez Hospital, the miracle babies born on the day of the quake clung to life as rescuers fought to save them.
My dad was right there, observing the horror and trying to help those involved make sense of it all.
This is what you didn’t know about the deadly Mexico quake of 1985.
