CNS, May 23nd, 2023 – According to a report by the Associated Press, Governor Samuel Garcia of Nuevo Leon state in Mexico stated that a campaign event held in the area on the evening of the 22nd was hit by strong winds, causing the stage to collapse. This incident has resulted in the death of 9 people, including a child, and left 63 injured.
As described by witnesses, the scene was an intense campaign rally at the time of the incident, with the stage set up in an outdoor venue. Faced with a sudden gust of wind, the unstable structure of the stage could not bear the weight, leading to its collapse in an instant. Multiple candidates and supporters who were speaking on stage at the time were trapped under the debris.
Immediately after the accident, local police and fire crews rushed to the scene for rescue operations. However, due to the chaotic situation and some areas being completely buried by the collapsed stage structure, the rescue efforts initially progressed slowly. After several hours of tense rescue work, the trapped individuals were gradually pulled out. Unfortunately, nine people, including a child, succumbed to their injuries, leaving the rescue teams with heavy hearts.
The 63 injured individuals have been taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Some of the wounded are in critical condition. Governor Garcia expressed that the government will provide necessary assistance to all the deceased and injured individuals, and offered deep condolences for this unfortunate incident.
The stage collapse incident has sparked widespread attention in Mexico’s society, with many condemning the organizers’ neglect of safety measures. There is also a call for a thorough investigation by relevant authorities to prevent such tragedies from happening again. This event also serves as a reminder to organizers of large events to enhance safety management at the venues and ensure the safety of participants.
