Fireworks Blast Rips Through Mexico Church Festival, Leaves 10 Dead and 64 Hurt

A celebration meant to honor a patron saint turned into a scene of chaos and heartbreak this weekend in central Mexico, after pyrotechnic material stored near a church went off and tore through a crowd of worshippers. At least 10 people are dead and 64 more are recovering from injuries after the explosion rocked the community of Santa María Canchesdá, part of the Temascalcingo municipality in the State of Mexico, roughly 100 miles northwest of Mexico City.
