much of the day after Wednesday night's blast searching the town for
survivors.The small town is reeling as rescuers comb the rubble house by
house and one official laments: "part of that community is gone."Police
initially said between 5 to 15 people were killed during the massive
blast at West Fertilizer. The explosion occurred around 8 p.m. and could
be heard as far away as Waxahachie, a town located 45 miles
north. It sent flames spiraling high into the evening sky and rained
burning embers, shrapnel and debris down on frightened residents.- Waco
Police Department Sgt. William Patrick SwantonTexas Attorney General Greg
Abbott told reporters in a news conference Thursday night that the impact
of the explosion was worse than he expected. "The devastation is immense,"
he said. But, he added the other thing he saw while touring
West was "the sign of hope" and "the beginnings of a community
trying to piece itself back together."A member of the city council, Al
Vanek, said a four-block area around the explosion was "totally decimated."
Other witnesses compared the scene to that of the 1995 Oklahoma City
bombing and authorities said the plant made materials similar to that used
to fuel the bomb that tore apart that city's Murrah Federal Building.Debby
Marak told The Associated Press that she noticed a lot of smoke
in the area across town near the plant when she finished teaching
her religion class Wednesday. She said she drove over to

believe he (President Barack Obama) is instructing his agencies to do things
that inflict the most pain on the most people. This should be
laid right at the president's feet," Shuster said.The FAA's 47,000 employees
-- including nearly 15,000 controllers -- are scheduled for one furlough
day every other week through Sept. 30. That will reduce the number
of controller hours on duty and pay by 10 percent, Huerta said.In
order to maintain safety with fewer controllers, takeoffs and landings will
have to be less frequent, and planes will have to be spaced
farther apart when they are in the air, he said. That reduces
the efficiency of the air traffic system, creating delays, he said.The impacts
may differ depending upon the airport, Huerta said. At Chicago's busy O'Hare
International Airport, for example, it's possible there won't be a full
complement of controllers to staff the airport's two control towers, requiring
one tower to be shutdown. Without a second tower, one of the
airport's runways will have to shut down, reducing takeoffs and landings,
he said. Most airports only operate one control tower.The employee furloughs
will save an estimated $200 million, and the tower closings will save
$25 million, Huerta said.A spokesman for the union that represents air traffic
controllers said the ramifications of the furloughs are still unclear."We
don't know with any specificity what's going to happen until this goes
down," Doug Church of t
