Just five minutes ago, a chaotic scene unfolded in Mexico City when a passenger bus was completely engulfed in flames on one of the city’s main avenues. The fire consumed the vehicle in seconds, leaving only a twisted, blackened metal frame on the asphalt. Thick smoke and the smell of burning plastic and fuel quickly spread, alerting residents and drivers for kilometers around.
A massive security response followed immediately. Police vehicles blocked lanes, officers secured the perimeter, ambulances were on standby, and tactical motorcycle units patrolled the area. Traffic came to a complete halt, with drivers stepping out of their cars to assess the situation. Witnesses reported hearing an explosion before the fire spread, though it remains unclear whether the blaze was caused by a mechanical failure, arson, or linked to a broader security operation.
Nearby residents experienced panic, with parents rushing to pick up children from schools and businesses closing for safety. Helicopters hovered overhead, intensifying the sense of alarm. Preliminary reports indicate no confirmed fatalities, but some people were treated for smoke inhalation and shock. Investigators are examining the site, documenting evidence, and working to determine the exact cause.
The incident highlights the vulnerability of urban safety, emergency response challenges, and the impact of sudden events on city life.
