A catastrophic gas tanker explosion has rocked Mexico City’s crowded Iztapalapa district, leaving at least 4 dead and over 90 injured. The truck, carrying nearly 50,000 liters of fuel, overturned under a bridge before erupting into a massive fireball, destroying vehicles and causing chaos. Footage shows terrified residents running as flames engulfed the area, while emergency crews, paramedics, and soldiers battled the blaze for hours. Authorities confirmed the truck lacked proper permits and insurance, raising concerns about safety regulations. The district, home to 1.8 million people, reels from shock and trauma. Mexico has faced similar deadly fuel-related disasters in the past, including the 2019 Tlahuelilpan pipeline fire that killed 137.
