Subway cars dangle at an angle from a collapsed elevated section of the metro, in Mexico City on May 4, 2021. The city's public works secretary, Jesús Antonio Esteva Medina, said reviewers visited the accident site to prepare the report, adding that laboratory tests are still needed to determine, for example, whether any incorrect or defective materials were used.Įsteva said they found deformed beams in the section where the metro track was curving and that other beams had slid from their positions. Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said at the news conference that officials will continue to investigate and follow up "not only because of our legal obligation but because of our ethical, human and moral commitment." It said bolts were missing in the beams that make up the bridge, that different types of concrete were used and that some welds were poorly made or not completed.
