A powerful gas explosion shattered a maternity and children’s hospital on the western edge of Mexico City on Thursday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens, officials said.
A leak in the hose of a tanker truck delivering propane gas to the kitchen area of the hospital caused the explosion, officials said, destroying more than two-thirds of the building and sending a column of smoke billowing over the area. Hundreds of firefighters, police and volunteers scrambled to find survivors trapped under debris of the state-run hospital after the 7:15 a.m. blast.
Workers had noticed a leak in the hose connecting the tanker to the hospital, and immediately notified firemen, Mexico City Mayor Miguel Mancera said. The explosion occurred before the leak could be contained, as firefighters evacuated people from the hospital, he said....
In 2013, 27 people were killed and dozens injured after a tanker truck carrying liquefied petroleum gas lost control and crashed on a federal highway north of the capital.
In the latest disaster, Adrián Rubalcava, head of the Cuajimalpa borough where the hospital is located, said two deaths were confirmed, one woman and one minor.
Mr. Mancera said 66 were injured, 22 of them seriously, including 17 minors, according to a list posted by local authorities near the explosion site. Seven injured babies are in serious condition, according to Armando Ahued, Health Secretary of Mexico City’s government. Officials said they believed there weren’t any more people trapped under the rubble....
