Did it “tip over and capize”?

You're evidently right.
USGS....
Tectonic Summary The September 19, 2017, M 7.1 earthquake in Central Mexico occurred as the result of normal faulting at a depth of approximately 50 km. Focal mechanism solutions indicate that the earthquake occurred on a moderately dipping fault, striking either to the southeast, or to the northwest. The event is near, but not directly on, the plate boundary between the Cocos and North America plates in the region. At the location of this event, the Cocos plate converges with North America at a rate of approximately 76 mm/yr, in a northeast direction. The Cocos plate begins its subduction beneath Central America at the Middle America Trench, about 300 km to the southwest of this earthquake. The location, depth, and normal-faulting mechanism of this earthquake indicate that it is likely an intraplate event, within the subducting Cocos slab, rather than on the shallower megathrust plate boundary interface.
Very interesting. Thanks.

It’s called earthquake insurance. Most of the well off in CA already have it. It’s no problem.

Down South. Seems to be tectonic activity moving Northwesterly. Is the Baja peninsula about to grow longer?

Videos coming out of Mexico City show the Mexican people joining in Houstonian rescue efforts with little to no looting going on.

To: Red Badger
Just heard on the news, the Mexican officials had just completed earth quake drills prior to the quake. I think different officials around the world are paying attention to dutchsinse.com as he has been putting out warning which have been pretty accurate. As opposed to the USGS which has apparently not been listing the smaller earthquakes which have been predicted to try and discredit the forecasting.
But then again government scientists are political scientists.
To: CondorFlight
I have been watching dutchsinse.com on line where he answers your questions precisely and even tells you how to forecast earthquakes on your own.
His site has youtube connection for his previous global predictions. He comes on live in the evenings for about an hour long spiel. That video appears on youtube later where you can skip to regions of interest.
To: Cold Heart
Whom would you believe is more accurate?
A government employee who gets paid regardless of outcome and faces no retribution for being wrong.
OR
A private sector person whose total career is on the line dependent upon their credibility and accuracy?

When I was younger there were a lot of jokes and even movies about “mad scientists”. No more jokes or movies about them because the government hired all of them.
To: Cold Heart
The earthquake hit on the anniversary of the 1985 quake. The drills had been scheduled for that same date with respect to the 1985 quake anniversary.
