Mexico earthquake: 'A nightmare playing out'

World at One

Available for over a year

The capital of Mexico has been hit by a massive earthquake which has toppled buildings and killed more than 200 people. British journalist Ioan Grillo, who lives in Mexico City, said the 7.1 magnitude quakes toll has been "devastating". He told World At One's Martha Kearney that it was "like a nightmare playing out" for locals who remember 1985's earthquake - which struck 32 years ago on the same day.
