Ok, I don't speak Spanish, but this still has to be said. The very first picture shows a building demolished with a still standing building, in the background(1985). The second half of the picture shows what looks to be the same building, in the background, still standing, but another forward building demolished(2017). Wouldn't you think to at least look at the building in the background and try to build the new one like it? Wouldn't you think to build Earthquake resistant buildings after the first one fell, BECAUSE OF AN EARTHQUAKE? I know you can't build a building that will withstand any earthquake, but the building in the background is still standing.

Unfortunately structures are not the problem. The problem is the terrain where it is built. Not only this building and the whole city of Mexico. For thousands of years the first settlers of what was found as a lake which they filled with earth and rocks. For this reason the soil is too soft and unstable. So some structures are designed so earthquakes can fall and others do not.

And yep the main issue is Mexico City is a drained lake and a fault line location that acts as an echoing point for earthquakes to resonate with buildings within a certain height range imagine an opera house and a singer basically same concept with that city.

Before they build the next one, shouldn't they dig out the foundation and determine if it safe to build a new building on it?
