The bodies of 15 people have been recovered after the enormous Texas fertilizer plant explosion that demolished surrounding neighborhoods for blocks and left about 200 people injured, authorities said Friday. Twelve bodies were taken out of the remains of the plant, another two were found in an apartment complex nearby and a man living in a nursing home died after being evacuated, according to the Houston Chronicle. Senator John Cornyn said on Friday that 60 people are still unaccounted for, but authorities hope that number will drop. When the call came on Wednesday evening about a blaze at the fertilizer plant, volunteer firefighter Morris Bridges picked up his 2-year-old son, Jaimeson, said 'Daddy loves you,' and kissed him goodbye. Bridges, 41, a father of three, has not been seen since. His family have not definitively been told that he is dead but they believe he has died. 'As soon as a call would go out, Morris would be the first one there,' said his wife, Carmen

Tennessee investigators and the mother of a nursing student missing for two years say a purse found this week is not that of missing nursing student Holly Bobo. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said Friday that Bobo's mother had seen a photo of the recovered purse two days ago and thought it was her daughter's.

Rutgers announced Brian Brecht’s suspension on Friday, saying that he too will continue to be paid. The school did not give details of allegations. Meanwhile, the university reached a deal last night to pay disgraced basketball coach Mike Rice $475,000, hours after Rutgers’ president faced tough questions about costly payouts to campus officials caught up in the basketball scandal.
