Texas blast left nearly 100-foot-wide crater

(Before It's News)

West, Texas (CNN) — Walls warped or blown off entirely, even ones made of brick. Roofs sunken in, if they are still visible at all. Garage doors lying in yards.

And, at the center of it all, a crater nearly 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep.

On Tuesday, the devastation from last week’s explosions at a West, Texas, fertilizer distributor became more eerily apparent as officials offered new details and opened more roads around the town’s hardest hit areas.

While the blast’s lethal power was clear, many other questions remain.

Why did a fire start in the facility, which had shut down to workers for the day? How did that fire spark the massive explosion that tore through the northern part of town — killing 14 people, including nine first responders, and injuring hundreds of others? What, if anything, could have been done to prevent the tragedy?

So far, investigators have eliminated the possibility that natural causes started the fire, but they haven’t gone beyond that.
