Explosion at José Cuervo Plant Kills Six

An explosion at the José Cuervo tequila factory in Tequila, Mexico, on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of six workers and injuries to three others. The incident occurred during maintenance work on a 500,000-liter tank, which led to a massive fireball and the collapse of several tanks, spilling hundreds of thousands of liters of tequila. Authorities are investigating the cause of the explosion, and local residents were temporarily evacuated as a precaution. The company has pledged to reinforce security protocols across its facilities. Emergency services, including 50 firefighters, swiftly responded to the scene, preventing further damage. The explosion has temporarily halted operations at several tequila distilleries in the area.
