CLAIRTON, Pa. (AP) — After an explosion rocked a steel plant outside Pittsburgh, workers scrambled into the wreckage alongside firefighters. A cloud of black smoke rose above a charred pickup truck as rescuers sprayed the scene with streams of water.

By the time the scene was secure, two people were dead and more than 10 others were injured , including one who spent hours trapped in rubble left Monday by the blast that was powerful enough to shake nearby homes.
