CCTV footage has captured the exact moment the overpass on Mexico City metro's Line 12 collapsed on top of cars on a road below, leaving a massive cloud of dust and a trail of destruction.
The accident has so far claimed 15 lives and left as many as 70 people hurt, but a rescue operation is currently underway to find more survivors as at least one car is believed to be trapped under the rubble.
