Eleven family members died inside Santiago Apostol church in Atzala, Mexico, when a 7.1 earthquake hit the building on Tuesday. The roof of the Church collapsed during a Holy Mass held to baptize a two-month-old girl. The only people to survive were the baby's father, the priest and the priest's assistant. At least four minors were among the dead. The rescuers laid the bodies out on the same street where a party was meant to be held after the baptism.
