So, I noticed that most of the buildings that collapsed where smaller (2-6 floors) showing how the more modern buildings where build better than the older ones.
What surprised me and had me in awe the most ,was when they would show each buildings aftermath of the earthquake while talking to people in distress trying to help them get out of a collapsing buildings which looked almost impossible .
What stood out to me was that when an earthquake was over and they were people that needed to be rescued, not just the firefighters but the civilians, helped to free those people. And that was really kind because Mexico has been through a lot because those earthquakes mess up a lot of people's homes. And they struggle to get somewhere to live because their home has been destroyed. And many people lost their lives to these deadly earthquakes.
This was very bad because people died and people stuck in broken buildings.
i think that Mexico should have technology that can help them determine when earthquakes are coming so they can protect them selfs
i think this video shows why Mexico should make there buildings stronger.
This was very tragic because this occured on the anniversary on the september earthquake that happened in 1985
This is really sad to see how this affects families and so many people died while having a regular day and all of a sudden a death threatening situation comes and kills so many people.
this is verrry sad what these people have to go through in Mexico
I believe the video was a great it really shows everyone uniting as one in time in need and people in new york and anywhere else show be together in times in need and also in times of no needs
I think this earthquake was very bad because many people died and some people were trapped in the rubble and some people worked together to save their lives
I think that in Mexico they have to be more careful with earthquakes or look at the buildings rather or put them on: sturdier things when an earthquake strikes, houses are not destroyed.
what stood out to me was that not only that the people who are trained to deal with these types of situations were helping the people who are trapped in the buildings, but also the residents were helping to save lives, this tells me that people do care about others lives and want to save them instead of just watching and recording
what stood out to me about this fill is that its not the first time that they ever had a earthquake so bad ever since 1985 and that on sept 19 2017 it happen again. its really sad that there were lots of people that died and the people who were stuck in building. its sad that more than 300 people died in this earthquake . a question i have is if this ever happen again would they be more prepare.
What stood out to me in the video was that EVERY ONE helped even though they were not workers, they were just civilians. I know that in this time not every one can rely one and other because of the mistakes of the pass generations but those mistakes can be fixed and we can all be united and not be stuck on our devices that consolidates us.
Something that suprised me was that on the anniversary of a devastating earthquake, another devastating earthquake ocers.
What stood out to me the most was how everyone even regular people on the street came together as a whole to help people feel safe and get out of the fallen buildings. Something that suprised me was how Miguel stood calm while a earthquake was going on.
This video made my heart melt because of the fact that kids were stuck in the collapsed building. I have no more questions for this film.
What stood out to me is that right when it was the anniversary of the earthquake in 1985 there was another earthquake . Also what stood out to me is the level of dangerthese people are in when a earthquake hits.
what stood out to me in the film was the fact that the news woman was talking about the earthquakes and right when they were talking about the app, the earthquake started. also i was very surprised that normal citezens were doing theyre very best to get people out of buildings and other rocks and such.
What stood out to me was that when the 2017 Puebla earthquake struck Mexico City on the 32nd anniversary, the people in the community got together and worked together to help save as many lives as they could. The people were compassionate and were willing to risk themselves to help save the lives of young children. While watching this film it made me feel emotional because it was just shocking to watch this and to here the broadcast and to see the events taking place. It was interesting to learn that they have drills that they practice in case an earthquake as bad as the one in 1985 had been.
@Mikhaela i completely agree with you
In this film, I learned more about two catastrophic earthquakes that took place in Mexico City. I was astounded at the sense of community that was revitalized right after a strong, tragic earthquake, which demolished buildings and separated families. I think that in a stressful moment such as in an earthquake, levels of stress and anguish would be high-- such feelings that would hinder the ability to regroup after it. Yet, amazingly, local communities in Mexico Community regrouped after the earthquake, and were headstrong in their need to rescue other civilians The fact that the sense of community was stronger after such a tragic event stood out to me. I can connect to the sense of anguish that comes with earthquakes, through an experience that my sister went through. My sister is living in South America, and recently her community suffered from a terrible earthquake. While it only lasted a little while, she told me of how the house shook, and how her host family ushered her outside near the army barracks, which crumbled next to them. I have never experienced a catastrophic earthquake, but I felt terrified for my sister in this moment.
In the film, “A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City” an unexpected earthquake occurred and showed how caring people were to help others, even when they didn’t know them. As i watched the video what surprised me was as they were broadcasting an earthquake was starting which destroyed most schools with people trapped inside an how they’re were so many people helping the trapped get out. I was also surprised at how the buildings were so destroyed and how it looked like it wasn’t an earthquakes doing. This film shows how quick citizens reacted to the earthquake (when it was the anniversary of an old one) and how they tried hard to get the rest of the people out from under the buildings. The message i took away from this film was to always help people in need when an event occurs.
In the film “A moment in Mexico : Ruptured City” some of the things that stood out too me where the screams of aldults and kids screaming for help. Another thing that stood out too me was how all the footage was threw a drone and that can explain how nobody would dare pull out a phone during this situation. A thing that surprised was how on the same day this earthquake hit a similar one hit in 1985 and it was just as distructive. An emotion I took way from this a great sadness because I have some family that lives in Mexico City and all the trauma this people went threw. A message I too from this is too always appreciate your family everyday becasue you never when a natural disaster can happen and that can all be taken away in a blink of a eye. Some questions I still have is that they didn’t have any clue a earthquake was going to happen I taught they would at least have a idea.
In the film, " A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City," the people were having an earthquake drill. It was very ironic because then a earthquake happened. At least they were prepared. Because I'm sure that it was very unexpected. Many people lost their lives. It would be scary to watch the city that you grew up in fall to pieces in front of your eyes. Many people were trapped and had to wait for the fire department to help get them out. What was also weird was that it was the anniversary of the strongest earthquake they had ever experiences. I feel bad for they families that lost people due to this natural disaster. I still have questions about this like: Have they recovered? Where did they shelter all the people who lost their homes? and How did they reunite people who got lost with their families. This film club was very sad to watch and hear the screams of the terrified people
In the film, “A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City” it shows how willing people were to help others, even if they didn’t know them. The video also shows the destruction that the earthquake caused and how people got hurt and stuck under the rubble that the earthquake caused. The first thing that surprised me was that they had an actual earthquake while having an earthquake drill. Another thing that surprised me was that on the anniversary of a traumatic earthquake they had another one. The video shows how quickly the citizens reacted and how they tried really hard to help people stuck under the rubble. The message I took from this was to always try to help others in need. During the film all of the video clips were aerial shots or taken from a bird’s eye view. The citizens in this video really worked diligently to help everyone out and didn’t really panic at all and went right to saving others.
In the film, “A Moment In Mexico:Raptured City” by Natalie Prolux, one message that I took away from it was that in any situation, you can always try to help others around you. One thing that stood out to me was how much the community came together, helping each other, and trying to stay calm. Random people who did not know each other, felt that they could help. I think that is a very heroic thing to do. These people were not just thinking about themselves, but the community as a whole. Something that surprised me was the coincidence of the earthquake. The same earthquake hit Mexico the same day forty years ago. One emotion that I felt while watching this film was sadness. I felt so sorry for what those people had to go through. On question I still have is how long it took the city to recover and clean up after this massive disaster.
The film 'A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City' gives the full optimistic perspective of an unfortunate situation. The film shows the amount effort there was to get people to safety. It was supposed to be a day to remember what happened that day 32 years ago, when there was a devastating earthquake that took many lives. But an unfortunate coincidence occurred during their drill that 7.5 million people participated in--another earthquake. To image how some people were taking that day off to remember those who they lost in the previous earthquake, just to go through another disaster, is heartbreaking. But just like they did before the citizens of Mexico City regrouped and repaired. It is a good thing that this event was captured on film because it shows the hope of a better beginning no matter what comes their way, as long as it is done through unity of the people.
In the film, 'A Moment in Mexico:Ruptured City' you get to view these resilient people coming together finding the humanity to help one another in the face of another huge tragedy that struck them. It was on September 19, 2017 the 32nd anniversary of the devastating 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed 10,000 people — another major earthquake struck the city. They already went through such a major travesty for another one to just come and strike them. I got to see the aerial footage that showed how the citizens quickly recovered from the difficulties and instantly took action, to help those who were trapped and injured. It touched my heart when you heard people calling out for help and you saw people working to get them out, and the people who were working to get them out felt horrible that they could not help them immediately because the building might collapse. You could see thousands of people crowding together and cheering each time someone was rescued, it was amazing that through the tragedy the citizens banned together and were there for each other.
In the film called, “A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City”, it talked about an earthquake that I happened in Mexico City. In the film, there was a very heartwarming moment, it was when many normal civilians after seeing the building going over to help people get out. They were very calm about the whole situation. It surprised me because if I were to be in that situation I would most likely panic and probably make things worst. The fact that when the school was having an earthquake drill and later an earthquake appeared, it was very ironic. Something I wondered was, were there any other buildings that were affected by the earthquake, how many people were affected, how much damage was there. It is sad to think that 300 people passed away due to this natural disaster. The aftermath of the situation was shocking and the fact that the earthquake on the same anniversary had less death than the current one is sad.
It was so upsetting to hear the audio of some people during the earthquake. Parents were calling out for their children, husbands trying to find their wives, overall people trying to find their loved ones. The buildings were destroyed and schools were damaged. In one of the audios, a man described being there, and said that lights started shaking when it started, alarms were going off, people running towards the door, everyone screaming. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like that, thankfully I’ve never been in a natural disaster, so I wouldn’t know what to do. Everyone was trying to help others that were under pieces of damaged buildings. What stood out to me in this video, was how desperate the people sounded in the audios. The earthquake killed more than 300 people and destroyed thousands of buildings. How long did it take for everything to be restored back to normal? How many of the 300 people were children?
What stood out to me about this wonderful film : "A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City" is how people who did not know each other from a speck of dirt were willing to help each other in this desperate time of need. This is really important because without that who knows how the place would have ended up like. A thing that I found shocking is how an earthquake happened during the time. This reminds me of the last real lockdown situation we had at school> It reminds me of this because that week it was planned to have a real lockdown but a situation had happened for us to end up having a real lockdown. It is crazy how it played out like that. This is areally heart touching film club that should go viral because of the impact it may have.
What stood out to me the most in the film " A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City" was how many people after the earthquake when immediatly and tried to help people. You would think is a dusater like that people wpuld be inj panic and worried about what they are going ot do with themseves. But in the film people immedistly went to make sure that everyone gets oyt the pradicament they are in. A message that you can get from this film is to help people because there are poeple that can or are going through the same thing yo are.
What stood out to me was that another earthquake hit Mexico City on the anniversary of an Earthquake that hit in 1985. Another thing that stood out to me was that they were not as prepared as I thought they would be. One thing that challenged me was that I don’t remember hearing about an Earthquake that hit Mexico City in 2017. Emotions I take from this short film would be that I was sad for the people that had to go through the earthquake because it is a traumatizing moment because you think you are going to die, you think your family are going to die, or you think that everything will collapse on you. More emotions I take from this film would be that I was mad that a terrible earthquake came on the anniversary of a terrible earthquake that hit the same city years ago and that the people that were getting up debris wanted to get the debris up quicker but with the technology they had they were only able to get one or two pieces of debris at a time.
In the film “A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City" by Santiago Arau and Diego Rabasa what stood out to me was all the different angles that were being shot for example they were shooting at the top of buildings. What also stood out to me was all the destruction that was shown in the film for example apartments and buildings. I found it really sad because people were getting hurt and you could hear everyone yelling because of the trauma they experienced. I was really surprised on how much destruction the earthquake caused because I never really saw an earthquake before. During this film, I was wondering where did people have to live because a lot of people's apartments and houses got destroyed because of the earthquake. The message I got from this film was how strong a communtry can be.
What stood out to me the most while watching this film, was how people came together during a tragedy. They were more focused on helping everyone get out safely, rather than worrying about themselves. I think that kind of community is extremely important in a situation like this. The biggest surprise to me, was how another earthquake happened on the anniversary of the one in 1985. It is crazy how that could happen, and no one deserves to go through trauma like that. The emotion I took away from this film was empathy, because we saw a lot of people helping others when they weren't the ones who were hurt. They were putting themselves in someone else's shoes and thinking about how they could save them. I cannot make a connection to my life, because I have never experienced something like that before. However, I did enjoy seeing the community come together and try to make the best of an upsetting situation.
What stood out to me was how a lot of people in Central Mexico were helping to try and get people out and everyone was trying to stay calm. This stood out to me because during disasters like earthquakes and things like that people usually tend to panic and try to save themselves. A message you can take from this is that no matter the circumstances you should always try to help because you might just save someone’s life. One emotion you can take from this is sadness because of the disaster that happened because of how many people died and how many people got hurt. What surprised me was how the earthquake had struck Mexico again on the same day 40 years ago. One question I still have was how long did it take for the volunteers to save all of the people that were stuck under all of the rubble and debris.
It is shocking that their was another earthquake on the anniversary of one. The people worked together to help others get out of the mess. It is sad to see how all the houses and buildings got destroyed during the earthquake. It shows the compassion of these people as they help others get out. Everyone is very focused on helping with the aftermath of the earthquake it shows how helpful everyone is. The way we see the city we see how big the problem was. It is so sad that around 300 people died but if all these people hadn’t helped it could have been even more disastrous with even more deaths. The aftermath of the earthquake is shocking and the fact that it’s on the anniversary of another major earthquake makes it 10 times worse. The story was truly inspiring and showed the connectedness between people of the city.
What stood out to me in this film was the willingness of the civilians that were around and helped because they didn’t have to help but they did it risking their lives for others and they won't be formally recognised or anything like that but they did it to save other people because they would hope for someone to do the same if they were the one stuck in those houses or structures. What really surprised me is how it really seemed as if there was more civilians helping then first responders because you would think that yes in the beginning it would be hard to get there in time to save them but it seemed even after time there was not many firefighters, ambulances and other people to help i guess with how big the earthquake was it probably hard to help everyone that needed help and that's why the civilians that did help were so heroic because without them it might have been hours or days until people got the help they need
I think the best thing about the film “A Moment in Mexico:Ruptured City” is the fact that random strangers are willing to help each other in a time of desperation. A whole city was able to work together to save these people in need to get them to their families and to medical attention. It's heart wrenching to see all of destruction that the earth quake left in its path. It ended up taking 300 people lifes with it. 300 people without their mothers,fathers,children,siblings,aunts,uncles, and grandparents. I wonder how long this must have took to clear the wreckage and how terrify it must have been to feel hopeless. It's very surprising that a day of grief of 10,000 deaths turned worse. I would like to know if any of this could have been prevented and if there is a way to track an earthquake. This film captures emotions very well. This documentary is somehow able to show tragedy but also show humanity.
The things that surprised me is that Mexico was doing an earthquake drill for an anniversary of an earthquake back in 1985. But then an actual earthquake occurred during the drill and it was a devastating one. A question I still have about the film is how many buildings were destroyed during the earthquake and the amount of people lost their homes due to the earthquake. Another question I still have is what happened to the schools that were destroyed? DId they rebuild them or were there just not enough resources to do it. A thing that stood out was that there was more than 300 people killed during that massive earthquake. I think that due to their preparations and drills they were able to save more people from the earthquake. I also have a question of what the government is doing about the debris and the families left without a father.
I think something that really stood out to me in this film was everybody helping each other, and the support given by people who weren't even workers. I found that very nice. Something that also stood out to me was the fact that this took place on the anniversary of another earthquake. It's a interesting coincidence, and it's also a little bit scary to me. I took away a feeling of sadness form this film, because of all of the lives that had been lost, and all of the people that, in the end, they weren't able to save. I'll also take away a feeling of happiness, because of how everyone banded together to help dig people up and save them. It gave me a lot of hope and happiness more than anything. I think something that really surprised me was how long it really takes to save a single person. Before, I hadn't really thought about how careful you would actually have to be when removing rubble and digging up debris. I found it really interesting, and also very scary.
What stood out to me in this film was the willingness of the civilians that were around and helped because they didn’t have to help but they did it risking their lives for others and they won't be formally recognized or anything like that but they did it to save other people because they would hope for someone to do the same if they were the one stuck in those houses or structures.

The short film "A moment in Mexico" is about a earthquake that shook the city of mexico.Lots of family lost love ones and they lost their homes.Also what surprised me in this film was how they worked as a unit to save those who have been injured or trapped by falling buildings.Their love for their people and city is what saved them.Their strength and courage to not give up ad go beyond there line of duty to try and save those who are in need.If I learned anything from this short film it would be to reach out to people as a community.We need those strong bonds because that could be what saved us.
This film was based on the earthquake that had happened in 1985 and the new that had occurred on September 19 2017. I am surprised to know that these two earthquakes had happened around the same time but totally different years. I am also surprised that throughout the whole film the perspective was never from the ground and it was always in the sky. This film had shown thousands of people all working together trying to save those that were trapped under buildings and those that were rescued. Events like these bring people closer together because they all share the same sadness. I wonder if the people are going to take even more repercussion in events like these.
It was interesting that the earthquake happened on the anniversary of another earthquake. They showed a lot of love and support and helped pull people out of the rubble or just help provide support. The people of Mexico city must have gotten better at preparing for earthquakes and getting equipment to help. It was really sad to hear a babies cry from the building rubble and when they said they found some kids in there as well I was thinking that they must be really strong. Not just the people in the building when it fell but also the people that went to help and volunteer to move the rubble. The camera angle was also an interesting choice since it was an earthquake I guess that they couldn't really be on the ground with the people but watching it from the sky kinda makes you feel like an outsider.
After watching the film “A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City,” something that was stood out in the video was the camera perspective. This is because it was all filmed in the sky looking at things from the side or from a top-down perspective. It was never actually on the ground, which was quite interesting to view. Something that was surprising to me was the earthquake itself. It caught me off-guard because the earthquake happened 32 years after their last earthquake, on the exact same day. In addition to that, it was disastrous, leaving around 300 people dead, and about 6,000 injured. It was truly sad and shocking to see that those people had to go through this and I wish all the best for them. An idea or message I’ve gotten from this specific film is that the world can be very harsh and can give us lots of problems, but no matter what, we can all help each other to work around and overcome that obstacle.
While watching the video ''A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City," what stood out to me most was the lack of footage from the ground, everything was shot from above, with slow and little to no movement. By going in this direction they forced you to focus on the audio much more, which was what they intended. I liked how they isolated the audio because the conversations that took place were just as effective at conveying emotion as raw footage of the aftermath of the earthquake would be. I also liked how they showed the very large amount of people that were there helping others get to safety, it showed a lot of unity and compassion shared by everyone there. I think including only footage from above made it feel less personal and everything looked much smaller but the audio compensated for it and you could still see the overall damage.
A Natural disaster can cause a huge issue and pose many problems for the people in the area. A natural disaster such as tornados and earthquakes. New Mexico city had an earthquake while trying to have a practice. The real disaster causes many building to demolish and many people to die. The effect left on the people of New Mexico city was horrible,children were under builings yelling out for aid and support.Many adult had to go in and help litlle children and bring o ut from under the rubble . THis situation made me feel like the safety of the people were harmed.Although the countries can try to get ready in case of a diaster, there is not way to trully prepare for such a thing. many are left injured because of the situation that they were in. All countires should be prepared in case a situation like this happens again
In the film club, ‘A Moment in Mexico: Ruptured City’ by Natalie Proulx, I was able to feel the surprise and the pain that the citizens of Mexico felt at the new occurring earthquake. Realizing that this earthquake occurred on the same day as another earthquake in 1985, it came to bring great unease and sadness to my heart. The sudden event and the 300 deaths that came after made me realize that life can change in the blink of an eye, and that the day that you are living might be your last. Seeing the disaster from a bird’s eye view helped see the disasters from a long distance away, and the great harm that it caused. On the contrary though, we weren’t to get a closer up view on the people and what they experienced face to face. A question I still have is what were the economic effects of this earthquake of the city, and how did the city change because of that?
In this film club “A moment in mexico:Ruptured city” it shows the aftermath of multiple mexican cities during, and after the earthquake.On september 19,2017 the 32nd anniversary of the devastating 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed 10,000 people just so happened to have another major earthquake that struck the city that day.In cities that were affected by the earthquake,Emergency services had to work fast and help those in need.More than 300 people were killed and hundreds of buildings were destroyed.People had to work together even if they might have liked to survive.One thing i was surprised to find out about was that before the earthquake,there was a earthquake drill happening, so when it actually happened everyone was shocked but they ready for it.Something i was concerned about was did the mexican cities have enough resources/time to rebuild everything.
In the short film, "A Moment in Mexico:Ruptured City" by Santiago Arau Pontones and Diego Rabasa, there were multiple things that stood out to me. For example, I found it very interesting on how this earthquake happened on the anniversary of another earthquake that happened in Mexico. Also, I found it awful that so many people (300) died from this earthquake. I wouldn't think that an earthquake could cause that many deaths. Something else I found sad, was the fact that even after the earthquake had finished, there was still the chance for buildings to collapse. That does make a lot of sense though, seeing as how there was many people moving around in the half-destroyed buildings. Something that also made sense, was the fact that when people were rescuing the ones trapped inside the buildings, they had to be quite so they could hear where everyone is that was trapped. At first this confused me on why they were telling each other to be quiet, but it does actually make a lot of sense. In conclusion, there were multiple things that stood out to me in the short film.
Something that stood out to me is that how they were having an earthquake drill and an actual earthquake happens. After the earthquake, many people are trapped under debree. Many buildings are crashing down causing people to become trapped. Some surprises me how is they rescued people and how happy people were so happy and grateful that they were rescued. I feel bad for the families who lost their loved ones or they couldn't find them in the debree. Some questions that I still have is how many people are still trapped and how many people have died.
