What was the Polanco, Bosques, Reforma area like after the 1985 earthquake? |
We know that neighbourhoods in the east wobbled a lot because the area was built over a lake. Anybody experienced the earthquake of 1985? Share your experience. As the other ppl already said, these areas were almost unaffected by the earthquake. It was mainly downtown where the biggest damage took place. Bosques is built on rocky soil so they didn't suffer at all in there. Polanco has very old buildings but earthquakes are not as strong in this part of the city (I live next to Polanco). Reforma is closer to downtown but most part of it did not suffer. So these places are just about the same they used to be before the earthquake. I DON'T KNOW I WAS BORN IN 1985 I actually lived in "La Herradura" (close to Tecamachalco) during the 85 quake. I was having breakfast when the earthquake began at 7:19 am. It really felt horrible. As you said, the areas mostly damaged were downtown (Centro, Roma, Doctores, etc) and north of the city (Tlatelolco). knight_7204 is correct. The west zone of Mexico City (Polanco, Bosques de las lomas, Cuajimalpa) were without damages. The worst cases were in downtown, Tlatelolco and Roma colony. I was 14 back then I lived in the south side of mexico, I had to go to school in the morning. I remember my mom drove my brother and I to school. |
