At Least 23 Killed in Mexico City Subway Disaster
-------------------------------------------------

In Mexico City, at least 23 people were killed and dozens more injured
Monday night after a subway overpass collapsed while a train was passing
over it. Two subway cars were left dangling precariously from the ruined
bridge. Rescue operations were halted overnight while authorities
brought in a crane to help stabilize the wreckage. Local residents had
reported cracks in the bridge after a powerful earthquake in 2017.
