Hundreds of people have been injured, some fatally, in a fire and explosion in fertiliser plant in a town in Texas.
Just days after the Boston Marathon attacks, the United States have been hit with another tragedy. This time it appears to be accidental as a fire at a fertiliser plant in a town called West in Texas became even more serious after a massive explosion.
Several buildings have been destroyed in the immediate area and as the fire is still too dangerous for rescue crews to attend, the focus now is on trying to help those in the collapsed buildings.
Some media reports this morning suggest that up to 70 people could have been killed with many more injured but details are still very thin on the ground. However, looking at this amateur footage of the blast, it was clearly an enormous and hugely powerful explosion.
