Search at collapsed textile factory in Mexico City

  • 7 years ago
Video has emerged from Mexico City of people searching through the night for survivors at a textile factory that collapsed following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck on Tuesday (September 19).

In the video, a "pancake" of concrete floor slabs and twisted metal can be seen on top of a flattened car.

Earthmovers can then be seen moving in to get rid of debris.

In day shots filmed in the capital's Roma Norte neighbourhood also captured in this video, more flattened buildings and debris can be seen, as well as a crumpled up Porsche.

At least 225 people have been confirmed dead, according to reports.
