Death toll from Mexico fuel explosion rises to 89
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe death toll from a fiery explosion in central Mexico rises to 89, as authorities vow to hold accountable those responsible for a deliberate fuel-line puncture that drew hundreds of people looking to gather gasoline before it ignited.
The search for human remains at the site of the explosion in the state of Hidalgo ended late Saturday. While families began to bury the dead, officials indicated the death toll could still rise.
Funerals already have begun, but the handover of remains has been slow because many of the victims were burned beyond recognition.
