Amplitude - effects thousands of citizens of Mexico
Surprise - unexpected especially as they already just had an earthquake
Negativity - negatively affect those who's family/friends are missing
Personalisation - Natural disasters affect a lot of countries so people can relate also the fear of losing family may make readers sympathise 
Continuity - Tuesdays earthquake prior to this one is mentioned in the article and there are other articles about it
