There were no survivors in the blast that obliterated part of an explosives factory in rural Tennessee, authorities said on Saturday.

The families of 18 people had been waiting anxiously on Saturday as their loved ones had been feared dead since explosions ripped through the plant near McEwen in western Tennessee early on Friday. The initial toll had been believed to be 19 people but that figure was later revised.

AES develops, manufactures and stores explosives for “military, aerospace and commercial demolition markets”, according to the company’s website. The headquarters includes eight production buildings and a quality lab.
