Massive explosion in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Authorities say a body has been recovered from the site of an explosion at a Kansas City restaurant Tuesday night.

They have not released any information about the person who was found, but searchers had been looking for a female employee. She was the only person unaccounted for after the fire.

Fifteen people were injured in the explosion and the resulting fire. Six remain in the hospital, while nine have been released.

There's no official word on what caused the gas leak, but a utility company in the area believes a contractor struck a gas line while doing underground work.
