On September 19, Mexico was reminded of the tragedy that occurred 35 years earlier, an earthquake that devastated the city leaving between five and twenty thousand victims. Without expecting it to be repeated a few hours later, at 13:14 a magnitude earthquake 7.1 affected the center of the country, leaving almost three thousand damaged structures in Mexico City and countless damage in the states of Puebla, Morelos, Oaxaca and Michoacán. Although the tragedy was immense, the most outstanding show of solidarity was the response of the Mexicans, helping without respite the victims under the call #FuerzaMexico.
