Rescuers located two more bodies in the massive steel and concrete debris of the Phillips Petroleum Co. plastics plant early Monday, while the search continued for six workers still missing.
"They were found in the area of the control room and the finishing room," company spokesman Rob Phillips said."That's really where we expect to find the rest of the missing. But we're talking about an area as big as a football field, so there's still quite a lot of area to get through."
In the week since the plastics plant was ripped apart by a series of explosions, 16 bodies have been recovered by crews working around the clock. Only five bodies have been officially identified.
Phillips said the storm that dumped hail and up to 4 inches of rain around Houston on Sunday helped rescue efforts by damping dust from the rubble.
