By , ExpressNews.com Data TeamUpdated

People dealing with the aftermath of the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck the Mexico City area Sept. 19 are sharing videos from the scene on social platforms, such as YouTube and Twitter.

The quake caused buildings to crumble, knocked out power and shut down the city's subway system and international airport. In 1985, an earthquake on the same date hit the city, killing more than 10,000 people.

Tuesday's temblor is blamed for more than 200 deaths.
