MSNBC: 31 Dead in Massive Explosion at Fireworks Market in Mexico
‘This happened just north of Mexico City; more than two dozen people are dead and many more are injured’
EXCERPT:
SANDERS: "Well, good morning, Stephanie. The death toll continues to rise here now. Three people rushed to the hospital have died, bringing the death toll to 31; 32 people are still unaccounted for; 70 people injured in this massive explosion at the San Pablito market. This is a market where people gather especially at this time of year to buy fireworks. It’s quite part of the tradition here to get fireworks, fire crackers, bottle rockets and set them off during the holidays. The authorities say they don’t know what set off this explosion, but it was a horrific chain reaction."
