The death toll continues to rise  following a devastating 7.1-magnitude earthquake in Mexico.  At least  139 people are dead, most of those in the state of Morelos, which is  just south of Mexico City.  The tremors toppled buildings in the  country's capital.  Video taken during the quake shows some structures  simply collapsing on themselves.  Rescuers are working into the night to  search through the rubble in hopes of finding survivors.  The  earthquake was centered some 70-miles southeast of Mexico City.
