16 people died in a blast at a Tennessee explosives factory early Friday, sheriff says
The Associated Press
A blast in rural Tennessee that leveled an explosives plant and was felt for miles around killed 16 people and left no survivors, authorities said.
A group of uniformed National Guard soldiers stand and talk outside a building in Illinois, some holding rifles. A military vehicle and part of a tree are visible nearby. The mood appears serious and focused.
