After a powerful earthquake in Mexico, which raised Mexico, there was an eruption located near the capital of the Volcano Popochetetet. Volcano threw a huge pillars of smoke.
According to Mexican seismologists, the situation on the volcano is estimated by "red alarm" - one of the highest levels.
Several Russian diplomats and their families lost housing. We are talking about employees who shot apartments in Mexico City. None of them suffered, but after their homes were damaged, they were forced to leave. Everywhere there are interruptions with power supply. Without light, more than 4.5 million people remained. The supply of electricity was restored by more than 70%.
The earthquake of magnitude 7.1 occurred on the eve. Powerful shocks were fixed in southern Mexico and felt in the capital. The affected areas introduced a state of emergency. 3 thousand military personnel, who assist the population were displayed on Mexico City Streets.
The powerful earthquake, which was the second in the early autumn, happened in Mexico on Tuesday, September 19, his magnitude was from 7.1 to 7.4 points from 7.1 to 7.4 points. The focus of underground jolts lit up at a depth of 57 kilometers. With all this in the capital of the country, Mexico City as a result of the earthquake killed 117 people.
Hundreds of houses, power lines, trampled roads. Without electricity, at least 4 million people remained. Evacquicing even the congress. Note according to preliminary information, embassy Russian Federation In Mexico, did not receive information about the affected Russians. The structure of the Russian Embassy in Mexico City also survived.
It is reported that the dead are in several Mexican states. In addition, as a result of the earthquake, the volcano of Popochetetet was woken up, located 60 kilometers from Mexico City, the eruption has already begun.
On January 22, 2003, an earthquake of the magnitude of 7.6 occurred. Then 29 people died, more than 300 were injured. The state of Colima suffered stronger than others, and in the capital, millions of people left their homes. April 4, 2010 The earthquake of magnitude 7.2 shocked the lower California. 2 people died, 233 were injured.
Residential buildings collapsed, the power systems and telephone communications were damaged. December 11, 2011 An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 in Germero happened. Then more than 82 thousand people remained without light. 2 people died. March 20, 2012 In the same state, an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 occurred. The victims were two people, 11 were injured. About 600 buildings were damaged. President Mexico called the earthquake "One of the most powerful for last years».
On September 7, 2017, in the territory of several states at once, an earthquake of magnitude 8.2 was recorded, during which 1060 repeated jokes were noted. Immediately in several states killed 95 people. President Mexico called the earthquake the most powerful over the past 100 years.
The world's largest earthquake in Mexico happened exactly 22 years ago - September 19, 1985. The epicenter of the Cataclysm Magnoud 8 was located on the territory of Michoacan, died, according to various sources, from 7 to 35 thousand people. More than 30 thousand were injured, over a quarter of a million mexicans were left without bed. 412 buildings collapsed, more than 3 thousand buildings were damaged.
One of the most affected by the impetus was the prestigious area of \u200b\u200bthe Mexican capital of Kondes, at home in which mostly low-rise and old. Many of them were built in the 20-30 years of the last century and, of course, do not meet the requirements of seismic security.
With the development of the territory of Mexico City, some features were not taken into account. The city is located on the plateau located at an altitude of 2234 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by the mountains of volcanic origin, that is, the territory of Mexico City aprici seismically dangerous. It is also important that the city lies in the hood of still during the times of the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs of Lake Teskokoco.
There is another reason explaining a large number of earthquake victims. Mexico City is included in the thirty of the most densely populated cities in the world. Now almost 9 million people live in the capital. At the same time, the population density is 5 thousand 900 people on square kilometer. For comparison: in Moscow at common account The inhabitants of over 12 million, the population density is almost 1100 less - only 4833 people per square kilometer.
Unlike the earthquake on September 7, this time the hearth was not in the ocean, but under the surface of the sushi - 135 kilometers south of Mexico City, in the province of Puebla. This map indicates the zones of the maximum exposure to earthquakes. Underground shocks felt in the radius of a seven kilometers from the epicenter. The maximum destructive strength they reached in the vicinity of Mexico City - this zone is marked by burgundy, and further the intensity of the impetus gradually declined to two points.
It is necessary to add that Mexico is one of the most seismically active areas on the planet. The territory of the country is at the junction of three large lithospheric plates. Their movements lead to earthquakes and eruptions of volcanoes.
After the most powerful earthquake in Mexico "Roil came to life" Volcano Popochetetet. The eruption occurred on the night of September 20. Volcano, located near the capital, threw a pillars of smoke. Previously, he was active on August 22.
Seismologists announced on the territory of the volcano the so-called "red alarm" is one of their highest levels of danger. Volcanoes have repeatedly wake up after earthquakes in Mexico, reminds the channel "Russia 24". At the same time, only in 2000 in Mexico, 10 destructive earthquakes were recorded.

It is necessary to add that Mexico is one of the most seismically active areas on the planet. The territory of the country is at the junction of three large lithospheric plates. Their movements lead to earthquakes and eruptions of volcanoes.
The North American stove, on which most Mexico is located, is moving in the western direction. The bottom of the Pacific Ocean south of Mexico lies on the coil plate and moves to the north. As a result of these movements, earthquakes occur.
The number of victims of a terrible earthquake in Mexico, according to the latest data, amounted to 224 people. There is no information about the wounded and missing, how many people are under the wreckage of buildings, it is difficult to imagine.
Thousands of rescuers and military disassemble the ruins so as not to miss the precious time. Our country has also proposed his help. In Rosturism, they transferred that none of the Russian tourists in diplomatic services did not appeal.
Everything happened in the midst of the working day. Powerful underground shocks and dozens of buildings in seconds began to fold one after the other. In one of the schools killed 30 people, most are children.
This kinder crying adults were waiting for several hours. School in Mexico City collapsed during the lesson, not everyone had to run into the street. How many kids and teachers died, not known. In the hope of a miracle, parents together with rescuers live chain over the brick disassemble the ruins.
And one more wonderful salvation from the ruins of a seven-story textile factory in the Mexican capital, where more than a hundred people worked. On working, it seems neither scratching. He told: under the rubble many more survived.
So it happened. Reversed moments - and the buildings were folded as cardboard. Those who managed to run out, just left what to pray. But on the street, thousands of people did not feel safe - they lavished between the stone traps that were cracking on the seams.
Only in the capital Mexico Mexico the dozens of houses collapsed, hundreds were damaged. Damaged power lines, roads fell. Underground shocks literally ruined the city on the part.
What was the people in the first minutes of the earthquake, video frames speak eloquently. On the streets, the Earth literally left under the feet. But, perhaps, the worst thing was that inside buildings - that is, almost all residents - the earthquake began in the midst of the working day.
Two powerful push. The epicenters - in the provinces of Puebla and Morelos, not far from the Mexican capital. Magnid - 7.1. This was enough for a real apocalypse in several cities.
Even Congress had to evacuate, and President Enrique Peña Ntyo, having learned about the tragedy, could not accidentally return to the capital - the airport was temporarily closed.
"It was a sharp creepy push, after which I ran to look for my child, but could not get out into the street and turned out to be blocked on the third floor. I was saved by the neighbors - set the stairs. Thank God, no one has suffered, "said Alma Gonzales.
Data on the affected and dead are updated with each hour, but it is already clear - the bill is on hundreds. Eyewitnesses told how emergency alerts worked.
"It was very scary, I was in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Russian embassy, \u200b\u200bit was just going to go there, at that moment an earthquake began, and in my eyes, high-rise buildings standing nearby. At the same time, the alarm is in advance, which usually accompanies the earthquake, this time was not, it began in fact after the beginning of the underground jogging, "says RIA Novosti correspondent in Mexico Dmitry Znamensky.
The Russian embassy survived - only small cracks. But they were injured at home, where our diplomats and their families took off the apartments. They were evacuated and found temporary housing. Now the embassy staff find out whether there are no Russians among the affected earthquakes. It happened not in the resort area, where our compatriots usually rest.
"So far no information about russian citizens There is no among the victims, but it is too early to bring any results, "Andrei Trojanovsky said the head of the Russian Embassy of the Russian Federation in Mexico.
Mexico is a hot spot on the map of seismic activity. Since 2000, there were 10 major earthquakes in the country. Last - literally a year and a half ago - September 8. Then 61 people died. Moreover, just a few hours before the current strike in Mexico, the exercises were held, dedicated to the anniversary of the 1985 tragedy, when thousands of residents became victims of the earthquake. This time, Mexicans knew what to do: the points of issuing products and drinking water on the streets and came to help rescuers, military, marine infantry, which eliminate the consequences.
The special equipment worked all night. Helped manually, with the help of kinologists - looking for survivors while they can still be conscious. Breaks - only for a minute of silence.
How many people are under the rubble, is unknown. And in the search for hope, every story of salvation is strengthened.
However, it is impossible to say that the hardest behind. After a few hours, repeated shocks began off the coast of Mexico. And the earthquake woke up the volcano Popochettel. The eruption has already begun, just 60 kilometers from Mexico City. Seismologists declared a red level of danger.
On Tuesday, September 19, a powerful earthquake of 7.1 occurred in the central part of Mexico. The strongest push happened at 13:14 local time (18:14 Greenwich).
Under the impact of the underground element, including the capital of this Central American state is the city of Mexico City, the population of the agglomeration of which is about 20 million people. The epicenter of underground jokes, according to the US Geological Service, was 120 kilometers from Mexico City at a depth of 51 kilometers.
According to 03:00 Moscow time on September 20, the number of dead is approaching 140. Most of the victims are registered in Morales (south of Mexico City) - more than 50 people. In the capital itself it is known about 4 victims of underground elements. However, these figures are certainly not final, because there may be alive and dead under the rubble. Local residents, without waiting for rescuers, manually disassemble the ruins of buildings where people could be. The affected areas introduced a state of emergency.
For the streets of Mexico, more than 3 thousand servicemen are derived, which help rescuers get to destroyed objects. According to the latest data, 44 buildings were completely destroyed in the city, some of them were in densely built and populated areas. From time to time, rescuers declare a minute of silence to hear the voices of people survived under the rubble. From damaged houses, the urgent evacuation of residents and employees of companies is carried out. According to Mayor Mexico City Miguel Angel Mansero, at least 30 people died in the city.
According to official data, 3.8 million people remained without electricity. In many areas, fixed and mobile communications. Mexico City Airport is closed.
After underground jolts, Popochettel volcano came to life, located next to the capital of Mexico. The pillars of smoke emitted by a volcano are clearly visible from the city. Seismologists assess the situation at the level of "red alarm" - one of the highest levels. The last time the 5.5-kilometer Popocheta showed activity a month ago, August 22, when the smoke pole rose to a height of 4 kilometers.
Many Mexicans covered mystical horror, because the day a day 32 years ago, on September 19, 1985, the earthquake was the largest in the new history of the country, the earthquake, which claimed the lives of more than 10 thousand people.
