Mexican Sewer Explosion…..
April 22, 1992…….
A Series of explosions in the Guadalajara, Mexico sewer system flattened buildings, hurled cars into air, and killed about a thousand people. Residents had been complaining of a strong gas-like odor and white smoke coming from the sewers for several days before the explosions. They were experiencing burning eyes, burning throats, and nausea. City workers found dangerously high levels of gasoline fumes. However, the city mayor did not feel it was necessary to evacuate the city because he felt that there was no risk of an explosion.
