Tamaulipas is known for drug cartel violence, but Ciudad Madero is in the southern part of the state near neighboring Veracruz state and has been less touched by the violence.The Killing Floor is a Pacific Northwest skate company that was founded in 2009. Nor was there any immediate indication of an explosion.Ĭiudad Madero is about 310 miles (500 kilometers) south of Brownsville, Texas. That may have left enough space to have saved some lives.īuilding collapses are common in Mexico during earthquakes, but the National Seismological Service did not report any seismic activity strong enough to cause such damage at the time of the collapse. The roof appeared to be made of relatively thin poured concrete, and photos distributed by state authorities showed the roof slab resting on the top of pews in some parts of the church. 'It was over 50 years old, it was here functioning and operating with no problem, with no sign of any defect,' Villarreal said.

Villarreal said no problems with the church had been reported previously. The state security spokesman's office said it appeared to be 'a structural failure.' But Gov. The walls did not appear to have been blown outward, nor was there any indication of an explosion, or anything other than simple structural failure. Security camera footage from about a block away showed the unusual, gabled roof simply collapsed downward. Questions immediately turned to why the concrete and brick structure failed so suddenly. We still can't understand what happened,' Galván said.

'It fell, there was no time to do anything. He had just finished celebrating the main Mass.ĭescribing that moment, Galván said 'the roof just simply and plainly collapsed, like an implosion, like when you crush a can.' 'Unfortunately, the elderly and children were those who suffered the most, the ones who were most trapped, the ones who suffered the most deaths, I think,' said Father Pablo Galván, a priest who was just outside in the church parking lot Sunday when the collapse occurred. Three of the dead were children, and on the list of people who had been injured were a 4-month-old baby, three 5-year-olds and two 9-year-olds. That optimism will be put to the test when cranes start lifting chunks of the collapsed slab off the floor and the tops of pews. Describing the efforts by dogs and rescue teams, he said 'there are no indications of life inside the collapsed area.'

'The most likely thing, I can't affirm it 100%, is that there aren't any more people trapped,' Villarreal said. Américo Villarreal said trained dogs and thermal imaging cameras had been used to search under the collapsed concrete. After initially fearing that dozens could still be trapped under the rubble, searches led them to believe no one remained unaccounted for.

Earlier Monday, an 18-year-old woman succumbed to her injuries.Īuthorities called off the search early Monday. State officials said Monday afternoon that 13 people remained hospitalized with two of those in serious condition. The toll could have been much higher, because a short time earlier some 300 people had been in the sanctuary for Mass. Many of those gathered at the Santa Cruz church in Ciudad Madero Sunday afternoon were elderly and children, because there were about five baptisms taking place.
