Buildings in Mexico City face a number of problems. Besides the active earthquakes, close by volcanoes and all, the city was built on a dried up lake bed. Which has never been stable and is constantly sinking but at different rates and different amounts depending upon the specific location. This was a construction issue even 500+ years ago, and remains so today. I had read about this in the past, but seeing the actual results were really something.
I hope this isn’t a duplicate message because I don’t believe it posted with my first effort. Thank you for the education, Dan. It’s far easier to retain the sights and dialogue when you experience it through someone you know. I’s the next best thing to being there. Most Americans don’t think of the rich history of Mexico as being so much older than ours. If things keep buckling and leaning, it will look like Dr. Suess was the architect!
