Unexpectedly, just 46 minutes later, a real earthquake hit Mexico again.

Residents of Mexico City: "I'm very scared. The fact is that it has been five years since the last earthquake. This is incredible. We know that the earthquake may happen again, but it is such a coincidence that it happened almost at the same time. The earthquake will happen in the future."
