Death toll in power plant explosion likely at 5

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — A fire official in the Connecticut city where a power plant exploded said the death toll should stand at five.

Deputy Fire Marshal Al Santostefano said today state police believe no additional victims are trapped in the rubble of the Kleen Energy plant.

Mayor Sebastian Giuliano said everyone assigned to work at the plant that day has been accounted for.

Giuliano said there have been no recovery efforts there today because the site is too unsafe.
