Mexican Quake

I've been in one earthquake, the one that hit Joshua Tree circa 93-94. Believe me its nothing to laugh about.

No kidding. 7.2 American Samoa 1979 and 6.7 Guam 1987. Nothing you can do.
well, for a country that exported half their population over the past 40 years I have no sympathy. their is gods punishment on them for illegally exporting their poor and treating the ones that stayed as chattel.
On the bright side... There are now lots of good construction jobs coming open in Mexico City...

I've experienced three.
The New Madrid fault line isn't as far as I would like.
Hopefully a few small ones may eliminate one large one.

Assuming your building is not built like garbage (which is a very real possibility in some countries), you are actually better off in high rise buildings over 10 stories as the wave harmonics are different the taller your building gets & less damaging. You'll often see lots of sub 10 story building collapsed in pictures taken after an earthquake, but not much for the over 10 story ones.
You aint seen how they build in Mexico. I was down on the gulf coast watching them build a high rise apt building. tThey shoveled the sand right off the beach. Im sure you know what salt does to rebar...if they even used any.
It has nothing to do with how tall the building is, but rather the resonant frequency of the building and the frequency of the passing waves, which are pretty unique to each eartquake. If those two items are in sync, watch out.
That will vary on the design of the building
Look at the Tacoma Narrows bridge failure, the wind through the canyon hit the right mix where the resonant frequency of the bridge lined up, and shook it to failure.
Great holy moly.
I had never heard of that one. Ill bet Mrs. Chen's laundry had a rank odor for a few days.
We all know the amount of Devastation had nothing to do with the frequency waves that the earthquake produced, the amount of Devastation was completely contributed to all the underground tunnels for the cartels drug smugglers weakening the foundation of Mexico.

Actualy youre not too far from correct. DF (Mexico City) was built on a filled in swamp. some of it still remains as 'The Floating Gardens of Xolchimilco'

Then there is this huge (18,000 ft) volcano Popocatepetl that looks over the city.
