The Voyager was loaded with high-octane fuel and ammunition when it was hit - the survivors of the attack worked with extraordinary bravery to save the ship and rescue their injured shipmates from the flames.
President Enrique Pena Nieto and Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera, who visited the scene of the blast, said Pemex rescue and security teams were working alongside city authorities to help theinjured.
The force said the officers began administering first aid to injured colleagues and firefighters and went to the rear of the depot to rescue a man with a serious head wound.
Once the five apartment buildings were doused with water and the courtyard was coated with a snowy foam, rescue crews began a grim, detailed search through the charred hulks to look for any residents injured or killed, Riley said.
