Millions of residents of Mexico City participated in an emergency earthquake drill on Thursday. Authorities activated quake alarms in Mexico City and office workers began carrying out practice runs for emergency evacuations of buildings. The timing of the drill brought back traumatic memories for many city residents, including children who were at school when the 2017 quake struck. Even before the disaster two years ago, another anniversary on the same date had been engraved in the minds of older residents of the capital, who remembered a massive earthquake that killed thousands of people in 1985.
