Mexico metro crash: Outrage growing over infrastructural problems

Al Jazeera, 06 May 2021
Authorities in Mexico promise to punish those responsible for the collapse of a metro train overpass that killed at least 24 people.
The accident has raised questions about the safety of Mexico City’s metro system, one of the busiest in the world.
The accident on Monday night was the deadliest metro disaster since October 1975, when two trains collided leaving 23 people dead.
Metro authorities say rail lines will undergo inspections in the coming days to analyze construction integrity, with commuters fearful that Monday's accident will not be the last.
