Original 1947 AP Wire Photo showing a crane lifting a wrecked automobile amid the destruction of the Texas City explosion. Workers stand nearby as smoke rises behind the debris. The readable portion of the caption describes the search continuing for dead and injured as the car is raised from the wreckage. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper. Measures 9⅝ x 6⅝ inches overall and is mounted on black archival paper. Original caption is printed directly on the photo; a printing error obscures portions of its upper line. Visible surface scratches, scattered marks and edge wear, with uneven edges on the black paper mount. Please examine photos for condition.
