I believe there's a committee on the case working out how it's the fault of the internal combustion engine and putting a new motoring tax proposal together.

Personally I blame Trump and Tory Austerity measures.

Wow just seen some film on the news showing many collapsed buildings, the quake struck just before lunch time so many people in work and schools etc.

I think this will be a massive story tomorrow as coverage comes out.

Epicentre was seventy miles from Mexico City too!

32 years to the day after the massive earthquake of 85 struck too.

According to the BBC they were doing an earthquake drill at the time as well.

240 known to be dead. I suspect this will rise substantially.
