A terrible scene is unfolding in Mexico City. An elevated section of the metro collapsed with what appears to be two railcars on it. The structure and railcars fell onto automobiles below. Happened around 10 pm local time last night. Twenty three deaths and approx 65 injuries reported thus far.
Please say a prayer for the families.
I remember watching a news report years ago about this system being plagued with construction problems and something about newer high capacity railcars either being too heavy or too long to operate on the system, as well as problems with cracking after the big earthquake in Mexico City in 2017. I don't know what to say other than its a sad terrible situation.
), and the purchase of larger rail cars than the system could support, left much of it out of service for years.
