Texas responds to blast that casts wide destruction in small town

A vehicle is seen near the burning remains of a fertilizer plant in West, Texas, April 18, after an explosion there the previous day. Rescue workers searched rubble for survivors of the plant explosion in a small town near Waco that killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160 others.

WEST, Texas - Emergency personnel were carefully combing through blocks of wreckage in this town of 2,900 a day after a chemical fertilizer factory caught fire and exploded with the force of a small earthquake April 17, injuring perhaps hundreds and killing others.
