A survivor of the Texas fertilizer plant blast has told how an entire street was destroyed in the explosion.
The bloodied man, believed to be a local doctor, said: 'The windows came in on me, the roof came in on me, the ceiling came in and I worked my way out to go get some more help.
'The ambulance station and the whole 1500 block of Stillmeadow is badly damaged, which is the closest street to it,' he told NBC News.
'My son lives there - he was on the second floor when it fell down, it would have fallen on him. That whole street is gone.'
