34 Dead in Mexican Fireworks Market Explosion

HeadlineDec 22, 2016

In Mexico, at least 34 people were killed and dozens more left injured after a massive series of explosions ripped through a fireworks market near Mexico City. Tuesday’s explosions shook nearby towns and sent a plume of smoke thousands of feet into the air. The open-air market was the site of two previous explosions, and a government fireworks regulator recently called it the “safest fireworks market in all of Latin America.”
