Mexican TV news broadcast interrupted by earthquake

A Mexican news station was broadcasting live when the 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck. Footage shows studio equipment and lights swinging violently as the anchor and staff run out of the studio. A warning siren is heard in the background as the studio camera goes off-air. The earthquake was the deadliest to hit Mexico in more than 30 years. It has flattened buildings and sent masonry tumbling on to streets, crushing cars and people in the capital, Mexico City, and neighbouring areas

That alert sound is the most nightmare-ish thing for a Mexican, I swear

[aircraftandmore]

this was a rare intraplate earthquake, a earthquake that strikes not on a fault line but away from it. It happend to be very close to Mexico city, showing how fast it hit after the alarm went off. Also pretty insane how this hit on the anniversary of that 1980 earthquake

You can even see how frightened he was but he still tried to remain calm and left the studio

TF nice he remained calm 😮(normally, News broadcasters would hide. He said in Spanish, ” I’m going to evacuate”)

Almost 5 years, and watching videos about this, gives me a throwback in the moment the earthquake was happening.

Dust, blood, tears and fear was the only thing I breathe in that moment

Este señor es valiente!|This sir is brave!

[Itssliam]

The eas alarm is one of the scariest things that everyone would be scared off depending on it’s sound

[Michael-lgwz]

In New Zealand we feel the earthquake and find out how bad it is, then some time later join the traffic jam driving up a local hill for the tsunami alert estimate

[ariestheram]

Imagine being this calm during an earthquake

[Luis-xeog]

5 years later and today the nightmare took over again. 7.6 hi Guadalajara, Jalisco, MX.

[teyjanetroman]

It must b scary, I was a month old in September 1985 when that earthquake happened. I have relatives in Zacatecas, 32 yrs ltr it happened again last year. R.I.P. 2 the ppl who lost their lives.

[ochakouraraka]

The hanging equipment swinging violently gave me the heebie-jeebies! I would hate to be there!
