Not expected to find survivors after the great explosion in factory ammunition in Tennessee on Friday, who left 18 people missingaccording to authorities.
Research and rescue teams do not expect to locate any of the missing alive, but they do not lose hope, said County Humphris, Chris Davis, at a press conference on Saturday.
“As we move on to investigations, we find that the disaster is even more extensive than we initially thought“, Davis said.
The causes of the explosion at the Bucksnort plant, about 90 kilometers southwest of Nashville, remain unknown. The installation specializes in the production, management and storage of explosives.
Video taken on Friday show flames still burning, burnt vehicles and tobacco rising from the point where the building was located, which has been leveled. Authorities reported that debris was launched half a mile around the point of the explosion.
Accurate Energetic Systems, which manages the factory, suspended its operation.
It is worth noting that in 2014 there was a fatal explosion in a unit at the same spot.
