Workers who were inside a Tennessee explosives manufacturing plant at the time of a "devastating blast" on Friday are presumed to be dead, authorities announced on Saturday.
"I can tell you that more than 300 people have been through almost every square inch of this facility, and at this time, we've recovered no survivors," Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said during a press conference on Saturday.
Davis added, "We can assume that they are deceased at this time."
The explosion occurred Friday morning at Accurate Energetic Systems in McEwen, located about 50 miles west of Nashville.
