Description

Unidentified Mexican female speaker (possibly a doctor) estimates that there are more than 5,000 victims of the gas explosions in Mexico City. She thinks figures released by the Mexican Government are low because it is trying to avoid a panic and it does not know that people live near the gas terminal. She says the Government will have trouble relocating those people. Female interviewer not identified.
