A rope barrier briefly comes down at the entrance to San Hipólito church, and worshippers surge toward the steps. People stumble and fall as others continue trying to enter the already crowded building.

The scene appears in Mexican news channel NMás's live coverage of St. Jude Thaddeus celebrations in Mexico City. Reporter Lupita describes injuries and families becoming separated, with children reported missing in the crowd. She also reports that a pregnant woman received medical attention after falling on the stairs.

Young volunteers handling security try to regulate access with ropes and megaphones. Announcements ask people not to push, but the footage shows pressure continuing at the entrance as worshippers carry religious images and maneuver strollers through the gathering.

The report moves between street-level footage near Paseo de la Reforma and Avenida Hidalgo and aerial views showing the crowd extending around the church. Lupita says the building is completely full, while studio presenter Said draws attention to older people among those trying to get inside.

Both journalists call for Civil Protection personnel to intervene and organize admission in groups. Their appeals precede the later sequence in which the rope is temporarily removed and people fall on the entrance steps.

The broadcast ends with worshippers still hurrying inside amid pushing. It does not establish whether the missing children have been reunited with their families.
