It has been determined that the quake was caused by the phenomenon of the subducting Cocos Plate beneath the North Americanplate.

However, years later with the opening of information from variousgovernment sources, the record was calculated at 10,000 Approximate muertos.4 The ballpark Social Security was used to accommodate and recognize corpses. Ice was used to retard the decomposition of the corpses.
People rescued alive from the rubble were about more than 4000.9 There were people who were rescued alive from the collapses until ten days after the occurrence of the first sismo.10
The number ofstructures totally destroyed was about 30,000 and those with partially damaged 68000.9
The Latin American Tower and Executive Tower Pemex were exceptional engineering, for this earthquake caused damage not algunos.11
Among the most emblematic buildings collapsed or partially destroyed during the earthquake were: In the General Hospital of Mexico gynecology unit and medical residency iscompletely destroyed more than 295 people died between patients, residents and staff médico.
