maintains a system where they regulate the manufacturing, the control, the transportation and storage of pyro technics in this country. and even with all those control, and the quality is excellent, you still have accidents. these are very susceptible to the atmosphere and human condition. things like heat, shock or friction can get these things to go. the problem with pyre technics is especially in mexico, one spark sets one explosion. and then triggers another and another another. the picture is telling. it was a chain reaction and it just goes. almost there. i can't reach it. if you have alligator arms, you avoid picking up the check. what? it's what you do. i got this. thanks, dennis! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. growwwlph. it's what you do. oh that is good crispy duck. does your child need help with digestive balance? try align junior probiotic. so she can have a fraction dominating... status updating... hello-yellow-belt kind of day. get 24/7 digestive support with align junior. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand, now for kids

was this some type of other maybe pyro technic that lit a fire? were there fires burning in there? something as simple as a cigarette could cause a fire that leads to something like this. those all need to be worked out by the experts. >> the debris you were mentioning in the front, difficulty of entry you had, could that have contributed? >> we are not experts in that. any time you have a collapse of a structure, you have fire and smoke that, can be deadly to people inside of a building. we know when there's smoke and a lot of fire and people lose direction inside of a location and that leads to events like this. we are not going to speculate on how each victim may have died. this is a tragedy and there are no easy answers right now. >> i see the records show there have been fire habitation complaints. >> right now the police department is focused on exactly your questions. there are a lot of questions that are being asked and a lot of answers we are looking to find. what is the history of the building? the occupancy of the building if there are any codes or violations, all those
