Explosion in a skyscraper in Mexico

In one of the skyscrapers, the explosion thundered, as a result of which at least 25 people died. Interfax reports that more than 100 people were injured in different severity. The explosion occurred on the ground floor of a 54-story building. In the skyscraper is the office of the large oil company PEMEX. The exact causes of the disaster are still unknown, but there is a version that the gas explosion in the skyscraper substation provoked an explosion on the ground floor.

The work of rescuers became more complicated due to gas leakage. Due to the threat of the new explosion, the search for survivors in the blockages for some time was stopped. Mexican salvation services report that about 30 people can still be in the building. Screams for help are reported from under the wreckage, eyewitnesses report from the scene of the explosion.
