'I lost everything. I'm thankful that me and my son made it out alive that day,' said Pottstown neighbor Tandra Rambert.
A vigil was held on Sunday night for the victims killed in a house explosion in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
For now, the aftermath of the blast remains. Debris is scattered across the neighborhood, clothing blown into trees, sneakers and toys found among the rubble. It's all a devastating reminder of the precious lives lost. "I lost everything. I'm thankful that me and my son made it out alive that day," said Pottstown neighbor Tandra Rambert.
"It's just an extraordinary community, so the sight of this blast is utterly heartbreaking. The loss of life, the loss of a grandmother, the loss of four young children," said Congresswoman Madeleine Dean."I think longer term the federal government can provide support in terms of housing and rebuilding and getting the community back on its feet," said Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey.
