Mexico City, May 5 (EFE).- Even as work continued here Wednesday to clear the rubble after the collapse of a metro overpass resulted in the deaths of 25 people, Mexicans voiced suspicions that negligence played a part.
“It wasn’t a tragedy of natural causes, it was negligence from the start,” Maria Gomez, who lives near the disaster scene in the Mexico City borough of Tlahuac, told Efe.
The overpass collapsed at around 10.20 pm Monday, when a metro train was riding on a section of Line 12 between the Olivos and Tezonco stations.
