This is what happens when you build on top of a Mangrove? Or was it caused by ignorance and/or indifference? Perhaps the Riu family (Princess resorts and hotels) should re-think their policy of controlling and exploiting Mexico's coastline to accumulate personal wealth at the expense of so many. Don't they have enough already? Its time for the government of Mexico to stop supporting mega, foreign development and its time tourists stop supporting the destruction of Mexican beaches. Lets hope that the new Cancun never happens on Tenacatita Bay.

Google: Mexico explosion or
Princess Maya Riviera or Canadians killed in Mexico.

"Environmentalists in the area, meanwhile, are saying they had warned authorities not to allow construction on fragile mangrove areas where decomposing organic matter creates methane gases.

Hotel staff were caught on camera attacking a group of reporters who arrived on the scene Sunday to cover the accident. Two journalists were taken to hospital after they were attacked with planks of wood and a fire extinguisher."
