Twelve bodies pulled from rubble, 60 still missing in Texas fertiliser plant explosio

(Before It's News)

RESCUERS in Texas sifting through the rubble of homes destroyed when a fertiliser factory exploded earlier this week have recovered 12 bodies but 60 people remain missing, officials said.

Approximately 200 other people were injured in Wednesday’s blast in this small town, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Jason Reyes told a news conference.

Investigators are treating the blast site as a crime scene, although authorities say the blast was likely caused by a fire at the West Fertiliser Company.

Fifty homes were destroyed, while teams have searched 150 homes and have another 25 to go.

“We are still in a search and rescue mode,” Mr Reyes said.
