(NY DAILY NEWS) More than 200 people were killed Tuesday when a powerful, rumbling earthquake rocked Mexico’s largest city, toppling dozens of buildings and sending panic-stricken residents and workers into debris-covered streets.
Neighbors and volunteers joined desperate rescue workers in hardhats as they used their bare hands and buckets to dig through the pancaked rubble of office buildings and churches in a frenzied search for survivors.
Fifty to 60 people were rescued alive by citizens from crumbled structures in the capital, Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said.
