As rescuers continue to search for missing body parts on the scene of the December 24 gas tanker explosion underneath the railway bridge in Plantation, the mood remains sombre.
A police sniffer dog and handler peep through a wall, looking for clues of human remains.
They had not found any further human remains by the time the journalist left but remnants of the debris from the blast are still visible in all directions of the blast.Two charred sandals, likely from some of the victims and burnt T-shirts were spotted on the pavement while flowers, candles and teddies left as tributes to the victims are strewn on both sides of the road.
The search extended from the residential area to the premises of Tambo Memorial and south of the bridge to Boksburg Lake.A SAPS helicopter assisted with an aerial search on the roofs of the hospital and nearby homes but nothing was spotted. He explained the latest search was prompted by the discovery of a foot lodged in a tree on Hospital Road on January 4 and confirmed four people are still missing since the fateful day that shook Plantation and its surrounds.
