![]() “No one is going to give me my father back, even if they give me 10 million pesos,” Hernández Juarez said, while expressing concern that his mother had been left without a source of income. Hernández Juarez planned to bury his father Wednesday as a string of funerals began across the city of more than 9 million people. “It’s really terrible to see your father that way for the last time.” He said emergency personnel told him his father was crushed beneath other passengers. “My father was recovered without vital signs, with trauma to his thorax, his brain, his feet, his knees,” Hernández Juarez said, gripping the death certificate. Hernández Martínez was killed instantly, his son Luis Adrian Hernández Juarez said, one of 24 people who died in one of the world’s largest subway system’s worst accidents. Children were among the fatalities, Sheinbaum said. More than 70 people were also injured. Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said 21 died at the scene, while the others died at hospitals. Stunning video from the scene shows the overpass collapsing on a heavily trafficked road, multiple vehicles apparently crushed under the enormous heap of debris amid a cloud of dust and smoke. "There will be constant information and there is no impunity for anyone." “A hug to all the people of Tláhuac, to all those who are suffering from this accident," he said. He promised a thorough probe of the tragedy. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador expressed condolences and solidarity to the families of the victims and to residents of Tláhuac, the borough where the accident took place. Rescuers brought in a crane to stabilize the wreckage so they could safely continue the operation. The overpass collapsed late Monday, sending subway cars plunging from the city's newest subway line toward a busy boulevard. Crews worked to untangle subway cars that dangled from a Mexico City overpass Tuesday after a collapse killed at least 24 people in the deadliest accident in the history of one of the world's busiest subway systems.
