ON SEPTEMBER 19TH 1985, EVERYTHING CHANGED FOR RESIDENTS OF MEXICO CITY

AN EARTHQUAKE HIT THAT TOPPED EIGHT ON THE RICHTER SCALE

AMONG THE RUINS, 16 NEWBORNS WERE FOUND ALIVE
SOME HAD BEEN TRAPPED IN THE DEBRIS FOR EIGHT DAYS

HOW THEY MADE IT THROUGH, AND HOW THEIR LIVES HAVE UNFOLDED, HAS BEEN STUDIED BY THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF MEXICO FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS.

IN A NEWLY UNVEILED STUDY, RESEARCHERS SAY THE CHILDREN BEING BORN FULL TERM AND HEALTHY PLAYED A BIG PART IN THEIR SURVIVAL.

--sot--

"it's believed that if the children had been pre-mature, or had been mal-nourished, they would have only survived four days"

THE NEWBORNS HAD NUMEROUS INJURIES INCLUDING SEVERE SCRAPES, WEIGHT LOSS AND FRACTURES.
MANY OF THEM WERE FOUND IN A FORCED FETAL TYPE POSITION, ESPECIALLY THE ONES THAT HAD BEEN THERE THE LONGEST.

THE PSYCHOLOGISTS STUDYING THE CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT OVER THE YEARS FOUND THE EARTHQUAKE DIDN'T LEAVE ANY NOTABLE MARKS ON THEIR PERSONALITIES.
THE CHILDREN THEMSELVES HAVE NO MEMORY OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM THAT DAY.

--sot--

"for me it was like a movie, I can't tell you that Iam happy or sad, just because I just don't remember any of it"

RESEARCHERS HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE TEENAGERS ARE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER KIDS THEIR AGE.

ONE THING THE SURVIVORS DO HAVE IN COMMON, IS THE BELIEF THAT THEY WERE GIVEN A "SECOND CHANCE" THAT DAY BACK IN 1985.

--sot--

"iam trying to do everything I can to make the most of the second chance God has given me. I live life to the fullest, do everything to make my family happy, and work to fufill all my goals"

CLAUDIA'S MOTHER LOST HER LIFE THAT DAY, IN THE RUINS OF THE SAME HOSPITAL SHE WAS SAVED FROM.

THE STORY OF THE SO CALLED "MIRACLE CHILDREN" HAS NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN.
THROUGHOUT MEXICO, THEY ARE SEEN AS SYMBOLS OF HOPE AND DETERMINATION.
