29 killed in Mexico day care fire

[fireman17]

If this has already been posted I apologize but as a father and firefighter this would be the worst day for me ever and I hope it will never happen.
My heart goes out to all the families and my brother firefighters in Mexico.

Its terrible. Last I heard the death toll was up to 41. Was that a false report?

It's horrible. Story said that a man got in his pick up truck and smashed down a wall in the place and when he did a dozen kids came running out.

I saw that. Just heartbreaking. I also read that some doors had padlocks, so the couldn't get in/out.

The death toll is indeed 41, with a dozen more children in very critical condition. Some of the children have been flown to the U.S. for intensive care.

The age of the victims ranges from only a few months, to three years.

There were a total of 140 children in the day care center at the time of the fire.
