"Authorities on Monday identified the 16 people killed in a devastating blast at a rural Tennessee explosives plant on 10 October, as investigators promised a painstaking process to figure out what happened by tracking down pieces of evidence that may now be miles apart. At a news conference, Chris Davis, the sheriff of Humphreys county, said people in the tight-knit community probably at least knew relatives of the victims killed in the explosion at the plant owned by Accurate Energetic Systems."
"Trent Stewart was the pastor at the Log church in Waverly, where Sunday school and worship was canceled this weekend and replaced with a time of prayer in the sanctuary, the institution's associate pastor, Charlie Musick, posted on social media. The church hosted a packed out house on Sunday, Stewart's fiancee, Katy Stover, said on social media. I know this would have absolutely thrilled Trent, she wrote. We appreciate everyone who came, and we hope everyone will join us again next Sunday."
