Mexico City subway disaster
A portion of the Mexico City subway system collapsed late Monday, killing at least 23 people and injuring more than 70 others.
Rescuers searched a car that was dangling from an overpass for anyone who might be trapped for hours, The Associated Press reports, but the effort was halted early Tuesday due to safety concerns.
"We don't know if they are alive," Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said of anyone who may be trapped inside the car. According to Sheinbaum, one person had been pulled alive from the car and 49 of the injured people were hospitalized. Seven people were in serious condition and undergoing surgery.
