RickS Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 TULTEPEC, MEXICO» A powerful chain-reaction explosion ripped through Mexico’s best-known fireworks market on the northern outskirts of the capital Tuesday, killing at least 29 people, injuring scores more and sending a huge plume of charcoal-gray smoke into the sky. The blast leveled the open-air San Pablito Market in Tultepec in the middle of the afternoon as it bustled with shoppers stocking up on fireworks to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s, reducing vendors’ stands to piles of rubble, ash and charred metal. It was the third devastating explosion and fire to ravage the market since 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
