Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said 44 buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. The temblor occurred on the 32nd anniversary of a devastating quake that killed thousands in Mexico City in 1985. Mexico City, one of the world's most populous cities, and the surrounding area are home to about 20 million people. In Cuernavaca, a city in Morelos popular as a destination for weekend visitors from Mexico City, there were reports on local radio of people trapped beneath collapsed buildings. "We got out really fast, leaving everything as it was and just left," said Rosaura Suarez, as she stood with a crowd in Mexico City.
