Political Rally Ends in Tragedy After Stage Collapses

At least nine people are dead and dozens more injured after a heavy gust of wind caused a stage to collapse at a presidential campaign rally in Mexico on Wednesday evening.

The event was in support of Citizens Movement candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez in San Pedro Garza Garcia, a city in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon. In the video of the incident which has surfaced on social media, Álvarez Máynez could be seen smiling and pumping his fist in the air as the crowd chanted for him.
