Health officials in Mexico say the deadly explosion of a propane tanker truck continues to claim lives nearly a week after the incident, with the death toll now at 19 and dozens more still receiving treatment for serious burns and other injuries.
The explosion occurred shortly after 2:20 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, when the tanker—carrying nearly 49,000 liters of liquefied gas lost control, overturned, and ignited, releasing a fireball and shockwave that damaged at least 18 vehicles and shook surrounding buildings.
