Mexico rattled by 5.6 magnitude earthquake

Breitbart (Link) (April 27, 2009)

A moderate 5.6-magnitude earthquake shook buildings in Mexico City Monday, as the city grapples with an outbreak of deadly swine flu.

The quake hit shortly before noon (1700 GMT), 68 kilometers (42 miles) east-northeast of the southern resort town of Acapulco and about 255 kilometers (155 miles) from Mexico City, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on its website.

At its epicenter, the quake had a depth of 48 kilometers (30 miles). The USGS had initially reported the tremor as a strong 6.0-magnitude quake.

People fled shaking buildings, but there were no initial reports of significant damage or injuries.

The quake came as the Mexican capital was already at the center of a swine flu outbreak believed to have killed up to 149 people.

World Bank: Economic Crisis turning into Calamity The global financial crisis could become "a human and development calamity" for many poor countries, the World Bank said, urging donor nations to speed delivery of money they have pledged and consider giving more. Developing countries, its main constituency, face "especially serious consequences with the crisis driving more than 50 million people into extreme poverty, particularly women and children," the bank said Sunday. Bank President Robert Zoellick said some of the poorest economies are being hit by "second and third waves of the crisis." He said no one knows how long it will last or when recovery will begin.
