My nightmare is wondering what will happen to the hospitals if it really explodes there in Mexico City. That is a place I can't wrap my mind around because of the size and population... and that big ol' volcano sitting there ready to take them all out. Paris is big, NYC is big, but Mexico City is overwhelmingly big.
