Search crews recovered the bodies of 14 people killed in a Texas fertilizer-plant explosion that injured 200 and devastated the small town of West in the worst U.S. industrial disaster in at least three years.

The dead include five volunteer firemen and four emergency medical personnel, West Mayor Tommy Muska said today in a media briefing. Sixty people remain unaccounted for, U.S. Senator John Cornyn said at a separate briefing.
