MEXICO An earth quak e struck Mexico City Sunday night, but the city's newest earth quake alarm system failed to alert residents. The city's alarm, the first of its kind in the worl d, is designed to alert residents about a mir ute before a major earthquake strike s. The alarm system is supposed to send warning signals to Mexico City before any quake measuring six or above on
the Richter scale. The quake shook Mexico City for about 80 seconds, and though there
were no imme diate reports of injuri es, it
caused hundreds of panicked residents to fl ee into the streets.
