5 Canadian tourists and 2 hotel staff are dead after an explosion in a luxury hotel near Cancun, Mexico. The explosion is said to have been caused by a build up of natural gas, perhaps swamp gas, and not of malicious intent. Several Americans were also injured in the explosion. A state prosecutor for Mexico is currently looking into whether or not the hotel was properly built for swamp conditions. Though the exact cause of the gas leak is unknown, swampy areas tend to have a lot of decaying matter which can create large gas bubbles that can unexpectedly rise to the surface.
