Rescue workers are spending Tuesday morning going home-to-home, business-to-business - searching for people trapped or injured after the massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas - near Waco. The blast was so powerful that it registered as a 2.1 magnitude, seismic event and wiped out everything for blocks.
Initial estimates by police say as many as five to 15 people have died. Firefighters who responded to a blaze that preceded the explosion could be among them. More than 160 people are being treated at area hospitals.
This morning West EMS Director Dr. George Smith joins “Early Start” by phone to discuss the aftermath of the Texas fertilizer plant explosion.
Smith who also serves as the Medical Director for a Nursing home in the area says “I think we probably saved some lives by getting some people on the other side of the nursing home.” Shortly after relocating some of the nursing home members, Smith says “the windows and the ceilings… fell in on me.”
Between seven and 10 nursing home residents weren’t accounted for in the chaos of the explosion says Smith. “They may have been picked up by family members. We don’t know because it was very very hectic,” he adds.

Forensic technicians making initial assessments from components found at scene of Marathon bombings – Fmr. Senior NCIS Official weighs in
Investigators are tracking down some two-thousand leads this morning after the twin explosions that occurred on Monday at the Boston Marathon. Officials are also poring over chilling photos showing the remnants of one of the detonated devices. Some of the images show wires, a battery and bits of what appears to be a circuit board. In addition, the FBI is now saying the second bomb was also in some type of metal container. This morning former Senior NCIS Official Robert McFadden weighs in on new investigation details regarding the Boston Marathon bombings.
The information to build an improvised explosive device is “readily available in open sources for books and the internet,” says McFadden.
Currently crime scene processing and forensic technicians are making the initial assessments from components found at the scene and conducting chemical tests to match the pieces with past bombs says McFadden.
The former Senior NCIS Official says secondary fragmentation elements such as “BBs or small nails or other components that would have been inside the pressurized device” may also match up with other past components.
McFadden says however that it is important to keep in mind that because “there’s such a broad spectrum of different individuals and groups that use this kind of simple device” that it could result in “quite some time for detective work.”
