Residents worked through the night digging through piles of rubble that had once been high-rise buildings searching for survivors of a devastating earthquake that killed more than 200 people across central Mexico - more than half of them in the capital.
The magnitude-7.1 earthquake hit 158km south-west of the capital on Tuesday - the 32nd anniversary of a 1985 quake that killed thousands.
Even as residents were trapped in buildings across Mexico City and surrounding towns, attention was riveted on a collapsed school in the Villacoapa neighbourhood, where rescuers pulled out 25 bodies from the rubble- all but four of them children. More were believed to be in the wreckage.
