Description
Cliff divers resume their legendary jumps in Acapulco, southern Mexico, in front of a handful of tourists. "It used to be a show," says professional diver Juan Francisco Cruz, "now there are no people," after the devasting passage of Hurricane Otis in October. Otis, which reached category 5, the highest category on the Saffir-Simpson scale, left half a hundred dead and some 30 missing, while 90% of the tourist establishments were affected and the city was semi-destroyed.
