Explosion at Mecixan resort kills six canadians. Swamp gas to blame
29 replies, posted
[quote]Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon says six Canadians were injured in the powerful gas explosion in Mexico over the weekend.
Cannon says two of them are in critical condition.
The blast also killed five Canadians, including a British Columbia groom and a nine-year-old boy.
Two Mexicans were also killed in the blast at the 676-room Grand Riviera Princess Hotel in the city of Playa del Carmen on Sunday morning.
Initial investigations were focusing on the possibility that[b] naturally released gas from a nearby swamp had built up under the hotel and somehow ignited[/b].
Cannon shied away from urging Canadians not to travel to Mexico.
"All I say is that the government of Canada regularly posts advisory information on its website to those who travel to foreign countries," Cannon told a news conference in Montreal on Monday morning.
"In this case, obviously, the government of Mexico will be doing the analysis, but for all intents and purposes we understand that this is an accident.
"It's an unfortunate accident. There's been loss of life. And it is a tragedy. But I am sure that within the next few weeks and months, the government of Mexico will be able to shed all of the light on this incident."[/quote]

What?! :v:
You mean something actually happened that DID involve swamp gas?
Edit: Aw fuck, typo.
It was a cover up. Aliens did it.
First off, the name is fucking hilarious (not the misspelling, the tittle within itself).
Secondly: The hell?
why would a canadian go to mexico
Mecixan?
So late. But nevertheless, not surprising.
:canada:. That's all.

Swamp Gas? Mexico is like Taco Bell: The Country, so there's no surprise it's "swamp" gas

This is also a cover up. Obama did it.
So let me process this.
Canadians died in Mexico because of the good ol' excuse for UFO appearances; Swamp gas.
I don't know what to think of all this.
World War 3: Mexico X Canada
The cartels obviously did it. The Mexican government is covering it up because it will hurt their tourism if they don't.
What is Mecixa? Is it a new country, or a new taco fast food chain?
Fuck man, my sister was booked in this exact hotel for next tuesday with her boyfriend.

vneleezua is the best
You all misunderstood this. 6 canadians were going to a mexican friend and then explosion happened.
It has nothing to do with mexico or mexica
I went down to Playa Del Carmen to visit some family a few years back. I drove past this hotel everyday. It's quite large and it looked really nice. I'm surprised that it just happened, tons of hotels and restaurants are built on swamps in that area. Fucking swamp gas.
