Photos of deadly Texas plant explosion show how blast ‘totally decimated’ four-block area


Police in West, Texas say it’s not clear how many people are trapped in the rubble after a fertilizer plant explosion that killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160 others. Waco Police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said on early Thursday that he doesn’t know how many people have been rescued since the Wednesday night explosion. But he says officials on the ground remain in “search and rescue mode,” going building to building in the largely decimated neighbourhood surrounding the plant. He says he knows some firefighters still are missing. Below, photos show the devastation left behind by the blast
