Mexico City and War Zone

san: Fireworks detonated in a peal of clattering bursts reminiscent of a war zone, according to Nine News Australia. It was the third time in just over a decade that explosions have hit the popular San Pablito market in Tultepec, about 32km north of Mexico City. Television images showed a flurry of multicoloured pyrotechnics exploding into the early afternoon sky as a giant plume of smoke rose above the market. The detonations struck in the run-up to the busy Christmas holiday, when many Mexicans stock up on fireworks. Some children suffered burns to more than 90 per cent of their bodies and were being sent to the US city of Galveston in Texas for treatment, said Eruviel Avila, the governor of the State of Mexico in which Tultepec is located. People were crying everywhere and desperately running in all directions, said 20-year-old witness Cesar Carmona. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
