A few minutes ago. Hope the First Kid is safe.
Is Oaxaca near Acapulco?
I hope Malia is okay, as well as her friends and those accompanying the group.
Prayers up for all.........
If this this information is correct, this is exactly where those kids are.

I’m sure all is well with the High Construction Standards and Low Corruption levels in Mexico.
Bush’s fault.
Acapulco is in Guerrero, just north of Oaxaca. Ms. Obama is or was in Oaxaca, closer to the epicenter it seems. I’m listening to various sources hence the confusion. At first we heard it was the D.F.
>Is Oaxaca near Acapulco?<
Approximately 207 miles as the crow flies
I hope the Secret Service guys are safe.
Earthquakes are RACIST!
I would have thought since they were so concerned about the security breach that they forced all sites of any record of the story they would have decided not to send her.
Prayers for the First Kid and all the people in that building standards nightmare of a country
Fracking would have prevented this.
Wow, who knew? Apparently THAT guy!
