A Big earthquake with the magnitude of 8.1 on the richter scale has hit Mexico.

Two million mexicans have died and over a million are injured.The country is totaly ruined and the government doesn't know where to start with providing help to rebuild.

The rest of the world is in shock.

Canada is sending troops to help the mexican army control the riots.Saudi Arabia is sending oil.

Other Latin American countries are sending supplies.

The European community (except France) is sending food and money.

The United States, not to be outdone, is sending two million replacement Mexicans.

God Bless America
