There have been no small number of rather bizarre accidents from humans humaning, everything from that time the City of Boston almost literally drowned in molasses to how humans drilling a 14 inch hole accidentally created a 1,300-foot deep saltwater lake out of a formerly 10-Foot deep freshwater one (more on this hilarious event in the Bonus Facts later.) But yet another curious such event was that time a rather large portion of the Reforma district of Guadalajara, Mexico just up and exploded one day for reasons... This is the story of one of the greatest urban disasters you’ve never heard of.

Imagine if Amazon had been running it. "Everything is fine! We haven't had any official warning, so if you leave now you'll be fired. BACK TO YOUR STATIONS!" Because, y'know, that's what Amazon did with workers at a warehouse that was inside a tornado warning zone. And then it was hit by a tornado. And people died.

I was 5 years old when this happened but clearly remember how it was living trough that time. I was extremely fortunate to not live in the danger zone, but at the time, there was so little info, that it seemed like any street could blow up, anywhere, at any given time. they opened up all the sewers and there was an eerie feeling in the air. I wasn't old enough to understand the potential danger, so to me it was kind of a cool experience (given that i wasn't exposed to the real horrors of it) it felt like being in some sort of disaster movie. as soon as my extended family established communication it was decided that it would be best to wait it out at a restaurant that my aunt owned literally at the edge of town. it was one of my most fun memories, since it was the biggest family reunion we ever had. it was essentially a giant sleepover. I was greeted by my cousins who were already having a blast, then once the sun came down, we all prayed for about an hour. then the adults started to go to sleep while my cousins and I stayed up chatting, but whispering as to not wake up the adults. if i remember correctly we avoided turning on the lights for fear that the electricity might spark an explosion, so it was completely dark. I'm sure it must have been very calming to all the grown ups to see us all having fun, and knowing that there was relatively little risk of explosion since we were in a very underdeveloped area, surrounded by fields, on the side of the highway. the next day, word started spreading that it might be over and everyone started heading home. before anyone says any hate, i do understand how fortunate i was to be sheltered from the entire experience which killed hundreds, injured thousands, and displaced tens of thousands, and mortified the entire city. interesting fact; one of my cousins, who was also there, but was about 6 months younger than me, had completely zero memory of that entire event even happening during our lifetimes. as adults we were arguing because he didnt believe me that we lived trough it , and he was adamant that it happened before we were born, he even called his mom on speakerphone to ask her, only to have her corroborate everything i had just told him.

You are lucky to have not been injured, but I can only imagine, being so young, it must have been immensely terrifying for you. Although, I had to laugh about your cousin. It's interesting what memories remain vivid in our minds and which fade away.

there were plenty of color cameras around. some of those pictures might be from newspapers since it would have been cheaper to print in black and white. but yes, living in mexico in the 90s you would encounter a lot of old tech actively being used from time to time. for example, we did use to have a black and white camera. we had a color tv but we also had a small black and white tv. my mom still used cloth diapers on us, we had a kerocine lantern that we would use when the power went out. my grandpa had one of those phones with the rotating wheel for dialing out. we had a NES when the N64 was already out, there was an actual Telegram station that we used once. there were people in the downtown area that worked typing and reading letters and documents for illiterate people, not everyone had house phones, so if someone was calling you from the united states, they would call the local convenience store, who would then send someone to knock at your house and relay the message. fresh, unpasteurized milk straight out the cow was still commonly sold (that's illegal here in the US) some people would still use donkeys as a daily form of transportation. but those are some rare examples. not just that, today the technology gap has been inmensely shortened. every time i visit, im surprised at how up to date all the technology is . and feel embarrased for still having my old stereotypes from living in mexico in the 90s when there was a bigger technological gap. the only times when you see less advanced technology being used, its usually a budget thing, rather than the lack of that technology in mexico.

Black and white film was super super duper cheap, easy to use, easy to develop, and reliable. Test shots, cheap shots which didn't need color, and technical uses kept using it for ages. A reporter who didn't think they'd be shooting something major today might get caught with a camera full of plus-x, until digital finally replaced film outright. Kodak only stopped manufacturing plus-x in 2011...

I went to Guadalajara on a business trip a few weeks after the event, The taxi from the airport to the hotel drove over a temporary bailey bridge, one of many bridging the gap since the hole city was cut across. At the time it had been cleared from most debris, but it was quite strange to see the broken houses opening over such a huge gap. Since the subway had just been opened we joked that they were working on an extension. It really was that big, enough to run trains on it.

By the way, Pemex was not a private company. At the time, Pemex was the only company in the country who could legally extract, process and sell oil. Going against Pemex would be going against the goverment directly.

I remember learning about the Guadalajara explosion in an episode of Modern Marvels Engineering Disasters. It detailed that a bunch of fuel leaked from the Pemex facility and nobody could hold them accountable. And the engineering problem came when a sewer pipe created an airlock due to the pipe bending down then up again while filled with liquid and yes fuel, then apparently a spark or lit cigarette found its way into the sewer. The details of the corroding pipe due to another being nearby was just one of a few plausible explainations.

_attributing it to annual cleaning at the nearby Nogalera gasoline storage facility._ Hmm, I suspect I can see where this might be going ...

yeah, mexico's government uses a lot of cool iconography, also look up the "hecho en mexico" logo and just the eagle on the flag has a really cool and unique style as well. its a blend between medieval and native american styles.

Isn't this the same week of the La riots? Really nationwide? It was 4-20 through 4-26-92? Something like that.

Texaco was not drilling in the "wrong place" and drilled into the mine. The mine was incorrectly mapped.

WTF is explosivity level and what does is measure? Do you mean fraction of the stoichiometric ratio? If so, that's not a good name for it as usually it's a cutoff not a linear relationship (and volume matters) not to mention that overshooting the stoichiometric ratio makes it less explosive.

As a former resident of New Iberia, I fully expected factboi to mangle the pronunciation of Lake Peigneur. Especially since he usually doesn't give AF about pronunciation.
