What: Lear jet en route from the north-returning from an event in the city of San Luis Potosi, central city of San Luis Potosi to Mexico City
Where: in the street street in an upscale business district in Mexico City
When: Tuesday Nov 4 during rush hour
Who: Eight people killed , including Mexican Interior Minister Juan Camilo Mourino, former Deputy Attorney General Josi Luis Santiago Vasconcelos and Miguel Monterubio Cubas, the director of social communication. Forty people on the ground were injured.
Why: The vice president of the national civil aviation rescue committee is quoted as saying, "It could have been anything, from mechanical failure to sabotage." It appeared that something happened to the plane in the air before the plane nosedived straight into the ground and set two dozen cars on fire in the posh Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood.
Eight are confirmed dead. 40 have been hospitalized. 1800 locals were evacuated. Sabotage has not been ruled out, because Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, the deputy attorney general was a key player for years in Mexico's army-led war on drug cartels. Mourino was 37, married with three children, and a rising star in Mexican politics.
