- What seemed to be a normal day on January 29, was soon not at all normal. A gas tank exploded in Mexico City near a maternity and children’s hospital killing one woman and one child. Many were injured by the flying glass when inside the hospital. It had been said that seven people were deceased but the Mayor then revised that outcome and specified that only two were killed. Most of the building was destroyed and the approximated 100 people inside are safe. The blast was caused by a leak in the hose the truck was carrying to the hospital kitchen. Truck workers had been struggling to fix this but were not able to. Around 54 people were injured, 22 of those were children. There had been many explosions around Mexico City, but not as big as this current one. Witnesses said that it was a terrifying site and that they had never seen anything like it. They were disappointed that not much was done to make sure the hose was fixed before entering the hospital. Although there were not many casualties, it was disappointing that a lot of children were injured. More could have been done to prevent this explosion yet there was little done. This hospital was a public one therefore all those using the hospital were all those who could not afford a private Medicare. The officials and rescuers searched for hours in the rubble making sure that they had found each and every survivor and not leaving anyone behind. The Mayor has not yet spoken his opinion on the disaster and many are wondering if anything would change when the hospital is rebuilt. Reports have not yet received word of the building being fixed but many are anticipating its return.
