Texas Explosion, Death Toll At 14

Texas Explosion, Death Toll At 14 - A law enforcement official says 2 additional bodies are recovered within the wake as to the texas fertilizer plant explosion, bring the death toll coming from the blast to actually 14.

Texas department of public safety sgt. Jason reyes failed to say exactly where the bodies were found however same additional info could well be provided later friday. He says the bodies will surely be sent to actually the dallas county medical examiners office for identification. Reyes earlier announced that 12 bodies had been recovered by friday morning which search and rescue efforts were ongoing.



While the death toll from a horrific fertilizer plant explosion was raised to 14 Friday, after two additional bodies were found, investigators later said that the number of people who were still missing had been overblown.

Earlier Friday, Sen. John Cornyn said 60 people were still unaccounted for after one the worst American industrial accidents in recent years. But officials later said that the list of missing people that had been provided was "confusing." Mayor Tommy Muska said there are "a lot of displaced people," so the list is misleading. Most -- if not all of those missing -- have been found, officials said, adding that they still do not have an accurate count of those who are still missing.

The explosion occurred just before 8 p.m. local time on Wednesday in West, Texas, which is north of Waco. The scene was described by witnesses as looking like a bombing site in a war zone. Approximately 200 people were injured and three rescue fire trucks were destroyed, Sgt. Jason Reyes Reyes said. Five volunteer firefighters and four emergency services workers are among the dead, officials said.
