Update
My father has just arrived home safely. He told us about the crash, he was actually driving a few blocks away when he suddenly saw a very bright flash of light (the plane's lights) followed by a humongous cloud of fire that was almost 50 mt tall. His first thought was that it was a bomb and he pulled away, in case some debris or anything might fall over him from the explosion.
He immediately called my mother, because he wanted us to know that he was safe before the crash made it to the news, so we wouldn't worry. He said it took him awhile to find an open road to come back (we live in the south of the city, and the accident took place in the north), but he was lucky to be on the street just before the media, the army and the police made it there, otherwise he would still be stuck in there.
My father thinks this was not a terrorist attack, for he actually saw the plane mere seconds before it crashed, hence it wasn't an explosion or a bomb inside the vehicle. He also told me that sadly the media is not telling the truth about the victims, because as we are watching the news, it seems like a lot of people died in that spot. There are dozens of cars completely calcined/burn, they look like huge blocks of ash.
Mexico's president is expected to deliver a message to the nation in a few minutes. Until then, it's still unclear the reason of the crash to us.
I'm just thankful that my father is safe. If he had left his office a few minutes earlier... he might had been one of the victims. I'll be eternally thankful to God that's not the case.
ETA: The President's speech focused on the late Interior secretary, Juan Camilo Mourino, who was also a very close friend of his. He said that he'll make sure the truth about this accident will be discovered, and he'll let us know everything. He said he's now more inspired than ever to keep fighting the crime, to defend Mourino's ideals. This was extremely sad :(
