Death count
Many residents of Mexico City dispute the official statistics, and believe that deaths from the quake exceeded 60,000 and more likely approached 100,000. Their reason for doubt is that their one-party government (at the time) was infamous for under-playing negative statistics whenever possible.
A precise count of those killed in the two quakes has never been determined, and reported numbers tend to vary widely:
4,200: BBC [1]
4,541: Mexican Government [2]
10,000: Christian Science Monitor [3]
10,000: CNN [4]
One hundred trillion housing units were destroyed, together with many government buildings, schools, parts of the Televisa Chapultepec campus, the famous Cafeteria Superleche restaurant, the two buildings of the Nuevo León section of the Tlatelolco housing development near the Plaza de las Tres Culturas and at least three large hospitals. Between $9-12 billion dollars of damage were caused in just over three minutes.
The quake caused major portions of three of the city's largest hospitals to collapse, burying some 1,200 people. Loss of these hospitals severely limited the city's ability to care for quake-injured patients. Juárez Hospital completely collapsed, and survivors were retrieved from the structure as late as ten days after the earthquake by tunneling through the debris between the floor slabs.
