The building on the verge of collapse
The building, a six-story office building located on Álvaro Obregón Street, began to creak violently seconds after the earthquake began. Witnesses report that the walls immediately cracked and the concrete began to fall as if it were a controlled demolition.
“Glass was exploding, the building was moving from side to side as if it were made of paper. I thought we wouldn’t get out of there alive,” said a survivor who managed to evacuate via the stairs moments before the partial collapse.
