"At this time we have been able to confirm that we do have 19 souls that we're looking for,"
"I can tell you that we've had, there are fatalities. I don't want to put a number to that... I can tell you right now we are looking for 19 individuals."
"We do have several people at this time unaccounted for. We are trying to be mindful of families and that situation,"
An explosion occurred at a military munitions plant near Bucksnort, Tennessee, on Friday. The site sits roughly between Hickman and Humphreys counties, about 60 miles southwest of Nashville, and the company makes and tests explosives. Humphreys County authorities reported 19 people unaccounted for and confirmed fatalities without releasing a specific death toll. Secondary blasts and ongoing fires kept rescue teams away from the site and delayed search and recovery operations. Local officials urged the public to avoid the area. The cause of the explosion is unknown, and investigators warned the probe could take days.
