An explosion at the main headquarters of Mexico's state- owned oil company in the capital Thursday heavily damaged three floors of the building, sending hundreds into the streets and a large plume of smoke over the skyline. Local media reported that at least one person had died and about 40 were injured.

Just saw this on Azteca news. Looks bad.
Over the last 4 days the price of gasoline has gone up $0.30 per gallon. I’m sure it will now go up even more as a result of this calamity.
I filled the tank of my Beemer with their fuel back in the ‘80’s...I suspect a bomb as I don’t think their gas is volatile enough to cause an explosion.
Mexican authorities now report 14 dead and over 80 injured.
No worries. They are covered under Obamacare.
Perhaps PEMEX was pushing too hard to stop the Cartels from tapping the pipelines and stealing oil?

Have they reported it’s definitely not terrorism yet?
It reminds me of the first WTC bombing.
Extortion gone bad?

Evidently you found your pants if you just had to change them. Also, I didn't know you had more than one pair of pants.
This was a headquarters building explosion, not a refinery.
It's in Mexico City and I was there not long after an earthquake there in downtown Mexico City and a building was collapsed. I was told it collapsed during the earthquake because part of its building materials was plastic foam instead of steel. After hearing that, I don't trust any building in Mexico City to stand up very long if there is any kind of outside stress.

One report says it looks like the explosion came from an underground parking level.
Wasn’t that what happened in NYC under Clinton’s watch as a precursor to the 9/11 disaster?
It was their office and not an oil facility. But anything to spike prices artificially or not.....screw the citizen at all costs.....
Considering 19 Saudis carried out the 9/11 attack and Saudis fund mosque construction everywhere ,and Saudis make enormous sums of money by selling oil to the Wset,I would not be surprised to learn they were behind many of the enviromental groups and everything else that slows Western energy independence.
They most certainly are. And, in particular, they are throughout the Obama administration.
Need I mention, for example, Abedin, Huma?
