The death toll continues to rise in the aftermath of the Texas plant explosion… Death Toll Rises to 14 With 200 Injured After Texas Explosion Fourteen people have now been confirmed dead with 200 people injured after a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas. Original reports cited the death toll between 5 and 15 with at least 160 people injured , with a previously unknown number of residents missing that has since been allegedly estimated at 60, although Texas government officials say the actual number of missing persons is still “confusing.” via NBC News While the death toll from a horrific fertilizer plant explosion was raised to 14 Friday, after two additional bodies were found, investigators later said that the number of people who were still missing had been overblown. Earlier Friday, Sen. John Cornyn said 60 people were still unaccounted for after one the worst American industrial accidents in recent years. But officials later said that the list of missing people that had been provided was “confusing.” Mayor Tommy Muska said there are “a lot of displaced people,” so the list is misleading. Most — if not all of those missing — have been found, officials said, adding that they still do not have an accurate count of those who are still missing. The explosion occurred just before 8 p.m. local time on Wednesday in West, Texas, which is north of Waco. The scene was described by witnesses as looking like a bombing site in a war zone. Approximately 200 people were injured and three rescue fire trucks were destroyed, Sgt. Jason Reyes Reyes said. Five volunteer firefighters and four emergency services workers are among the dead, officials said. It truly is both heartbreaking and heroic how so many emergency service workers risk their lives to save others only to end up among those who lost their lives.

Is there tension among the two key members of Bon Jovi? The band left a statement on its official website today that said its founding guitarist will not be joining his colleagues on tour this spring. It reads: “Due to personal issues, Richie Sambora will not be performing on this upcoming leg. All shows will go on as scheduled.” No other details have been made available, but an insider compares Sambora’s feud with Jon Bon Jovi to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, telling TMZ there is contention over both money and how Jon treats Richie. The first leg of Bon Jovi’s Because We Can tour kicks off tonight in Edmonton. It will move to 14 cities including St. Paul, Minn., Austin, Texas, Los Angeles and Las Vegas before wrapping up on April 25 in San Jose.
She’ll never live this one down… Woman Burns Down House While Setting Snake On Fire A Texas woman who doused a snake in her yard with gasoline to kill it found out a little too late that that might not have been the best idea. via Fox News Authorities say a northeast Texas woman recently learned a hard lesson: Don’t try to kill a snake by setting it on fire. The woman was cleaning the yard outside a home near Texarkana Wednesday night when she spotted a snake. Bowie County Sheriff’s Capt. David Grable says she poured gasoline on the snake to try to kill it. Her son then dropped a lit match on the snake. The engulfed snake slithered into some brush nearby the home. Grable says the brush ignited and started a fire that destroyed the home and damaged one next door. So not only did she blaze up herown ish with this bright idea, she ruined someone else’s house too.
