Mexican search and rescue teams worked through the night after an earthquake rocked one of the world’s largest urban centers, killing hundreds and reducing buildings to rubble.
Military police, paramedics and volunteers, aided by giant flood lights, sifted through the rubble to locate survivors, often calling for silence to listen for voices of trapped victims. The 7.2 magnitude quake ravaged the area of more than 20 million people, killing at least 217 people and leaving an unknown number of others still unaccounted for.
