222 | Ferry explosion injures 25 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, February 21, 2018


How did people seriously not get injured from an explosion such as that? Was it in an enclosed space away?
Those look like people who are forcibly pushed from the explosion. Look at how far some were ejected.
Notice that the explosion comes near the top, where the passengers are.

An explosion ripped through a ferry as it unloaded passengers in the Caribbean beach city of Playa del Carmen on Wednesday, hurting 25 people, but authorities said none of the injuries were life-threatening.

Local Civil Defense director Juan Medina Sosa said 20 Mexicans, three Canadians and two Americans were injured, and all were in good condition.


The Barcos Caribe vessel was left with a gaping hole in its starboard side next to a passenger seating area.

The municipal statement said the explosion happened when passengers were getting off the boat, and the cause was not yet known.

The Port Administration of Quintana Roo state said in a statement that preliminary indications suggest a mechanical failure may have been to blame.

Yet to hear of the cause from other various sources as well. Does this stem from a possible gas line of some sort?
