September 1985 Mexico City, Mexico Images
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred off the Pacific coast of Mexico.
Description
The damage was concentrated in a 25 square km area of Mexico City, 350 km from the epicenter. The underlying geology and geologic history of Mexico City contributed to this unusual concentration of damage at a distance from the epicenter.
Of a population of 18 million, an estimated 10,000 people were killed, and 50,000 were injured.
