Fireworks Market Explosion Sends People Running [VIDEO]
Workers in Mexico are picking up the pieces after a fire sparked a massive series of explosions at a fireworks factory and market. Early reports said at least 72 people were injured when fireworks exploded. This morning, we're hearing that "dozens" of people are dead after the blaze. A driver caught the long string of explosions on video and got up close when workers started sifting through the damaged Tultepec market.
Drone video of the aftermath shows hundreds of people gathered around just to see what's left of the market.
Social media reaction to this story was swift.
