- Anguish and Anger In Guadalajara
- </hdr><body>
- <p>"We told you! We called you! You never paid any attention to us!"
- </p>
- <p> Residents throughout the Reforma District of Guadalajara,
- Mexico, had complained bitterly last Tuesday about the strong
- smell, like gasoline's, that was wafting up from the sewers.
- City officials could not find any leak, however, and called off
- their investigation just hours before a series of explosions
- ripped up the streets Wednesday morning. More than 200 people
- died, and 15,000 others lost their homes.
- </p>
- <p> Such accidents are sometimes caused by an industrial
- plant's indiscriminate dumping of flammable waste products into
- the sewage system. Investigators in Guadalajara quickly focused
- on two possible culprits: a cooking-oil factory and a state-run
- petroleum facility.
