person injured

María Becerra's second show

The flames started at 2:20 p.m. in a container that contained elements for the show and also a toxic substance.
The container was on the dry beach of the club.
It happened when María Becerra's followers were already beginning to gather around the periphery of the stadium to enter the stands and the playing field.
An oxygen tank exploded
at the scene
, then catching fire with the surrounding material, police sources indicated.
Three fire crews worked to extinguish the fire.
The fire broke out near a container with pyrotechnic lights and aerosols, which increased the concern of the authorities and organizers.
As a consequence, the assistance of the Explosives Brigade was requested.
Members of the Neighborhood Police Station 13 B of the City Police also collaborated in the operation.

As a precaution, the stadium's electricity was cut off.
One person suffered burns and had to be taken to a hospital by a private ambulance from the club.
After putting out the fire, firefighters found
white phosphorus
inside the container , an element that has toxic properties.
The smoke could be seen several blocks away and generated panic among the fans of "La Nena de Argentina", scared with a possible suspension of the recital.

Due to technical problems, the show started more than two hours late: after 11 p.m.
While waiting, some of the 85,000 people in the audience lost patience, booed and asked for the 24-year-old artist to be on stage.
In the midst of the tension, some fans attacked each other with their fists, a situation that, in any case, usually arises in this type of mass concerts.
Finally, the problem did not overshadow the show of María Becerra, who made history by being the first Argentine singer to fill the Monumental.
