MUEANG SUPHAN BURI, Thailand: Rescue workers on Thursday carried out the grim task of recovering the remains of the 23 apparent victims of an explosion at a fireworks factory in central Thailand.

Only part of the building frame stood at the site of the devastated factory in an otherwise empty rice field in rural Suphan Buri province the day after the blast.
