Body Recovered from Destroyed Kansas City Restaurant
Killed by natural gas blast
Firefighters recovered the body of a young woman on Wednesday from the rubble of a popular Kansas City restaurant destroyed by a natural gas blast and fire that injured another 15 people, authorities said.
Kansas City Mayor Sly James said firefighters were still looking for other potential victims of the Tuesday night explosion and fire that flattened JJ's restaurant in the upscale Country Club Plaza shopping district.
"We can't be 100 percent sure we can account for every single person who might have been at JJ's last night," James said at a news conference, flanked by Kansas City Fire Chief Paul Berardi.
