Mexico City Earthquake '85

1) ARTI was sent to Mexico City by the Mexican Ambassador to the United Nations with our first diplomatic papers and flown by the National Airline, 'Mexicana', free of charge. Behind the tree is a whole street of collapsed skyscrapers. On a visit to Mexico City, in 1996 it was noted that these empty skyscrapers are still destroyed. It would cost too much to demolish them; hence, they stay as monuments.

2) These slabs from a theater lined the street. Thanks to the US Embassy for providing transportation and chauffeur for the eleven days Copp crawled through rubble. ARTI was founded upon return to the USA.
