Mexico 7.1 Earthquake: 'Absolutely Horrific Images'

BARACK OBAMA. >>> A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE HAS
STRUCK 150 OUTSIDE OF MEXICO CITY IN PUEBLA MEXICO.
STEVE, WHAT DO WE KNOW FROM THE L.A. BUREAU.
>> ALI, INFORMATION IS COMING IN HOT AND FAST, THIS IS STILL A
VERY BREAKING SITUATION BUT THE IMAGES THAT ARE COMING IN ARE
ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. IT WAS A REPORTED 7.1 QUAKE AS
YOU MENTIONED SOUTH OF MEXICO CITY IN AN AREA THAT IS BUILT ON
A LAKE BED. HERE'S THE REAL TRAGEDY THAT WE
KNOW SO FAR. THE TOWN WAS ACTUALLY PRACTICING
DRILLS BECAUSE OF THAT 1985 QUAKE.
IT'S THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE '85 QUAKE.
THAT WAS AN 8.0 MAGNITUDE THAT BASICALLY DESTROYED MUCH OF
MEXICO CITY, LED TO THOUSANDS OF DEATHS, LED TO BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. LED TO, YOU KNOW, MASSIVE
AMOUNTS OF LOSS OF LIFE IN THAT AREA.
SO THEY WERE ACTUALLY PRACTICING DRILLS BECAUSE OF THAT
EARTHQUAKE, THAT ANNIVERSARY. AND THEN TO HAVE THIS ABOUT 40
MINUTES AGO, THIS 7.1 MAGNITUDE. AFTERSHOKTS SHOCKS HAVEN'T BEEN
FELT ED YET. WATCHING VIDEOS WE HAVE GOTTEN
IN ON SOCIAL MEDIA, FROM OUR AFFILIATE IN TELEMUNDO,
DEVASTATION. DURING THE QUAKE, THINGS FALLING
DOWN, PEOPLE TRYING TO TAKE COVER.
OUTSIDE YOU ARE LOOKING AT BUILDINGS COLLAPSING, HUGE
PLUMES OF DUST AND SMOKE RISING OVER THE CITY.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT PEOPLE SCREAMING TRYING TO GET AWAY IN
ANY WAY THEY CAN AS THIS QUAKE IS OCCURRING.
INITIAL REPORTS, 7.1. NO WORD YET ON LOSS OF LIFE.
NO WORD YET ON THE DEVASTATION. OBVIOUSLY WITH THAT 8.0 QUAKE
THAT WAS ALL THOSE YEARS AGO IN 1985, THE MAGNITUDE OF THAT, THE
LOSS OF LIFE IN THAT WAS TREMENDOUS.
THIS AT 7.1 IS EXPECTED TO DO
