Rescue workers search through debris near a multi-storied building which has been destroyed. (This building is probably the Monsanto building.) Only the metal framework remains of much of the building, and twisted and bent metal is very visible on the front top section of the building. A group of men are examining a section of railroad track which has been damaged. Metal and wooden debris is widely scattered. On the left side of the photograph, an ambulance is parked with back doors open. Rescue workers include both military and civilians. On the reverse of the photograph is written: "From John P. Blazetic with 32nd medical battalion". 1 photographic print : b&w ; 5 x 7 in. nol image image_photo United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City mod-tim 1947-04-16 1947-04-16 [Rescue workers check through debris after the 1947 Texas City Disaster] local-cont-no: ntbkb-065 Texas City Disaster, 1947 Disasters - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Industrial accidents - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Explosions - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Debris - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Rescue workers - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Railroads - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Ambulances - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Military personnel - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Warehouses - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Places - United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City Business, Economics and Finance - Shipping Business, Economics and Finance - Transportation - Railroads Military and War - Personnel People - Groups Military personnel - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Monsanto (Texas City, Texas) - 1947 ark: ark:/67531/metapth11782 http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth11782/
