US authorities have found six more bodies following a chemical leak at a paper plant in Washington state, an official said on Thursday, with three of a total 11 victims still missing. Washington was bracing for the state’s ‘deadliest industrial tragedy,’ Gov. Bob Ferguson said following the rupture of a tank at the Nippon Dynawave plant.
A chemical tank at a Washington paper mill imploded Tuesday, leaving one dead and nine missing, according to authorities. Authorities in Longview, Washington, responded to a chemical tank blast Tuesday in what first responders called a "mass casualty event." It involved a vat of chemicals used to turn wood pulp into tissues, wrapping paper and other packaging.
Times of India reported the story as "'Mass casualty scene': 1 dead, 9 missing in chemical tank implosion at US paper mill." NBC News reported the story as "11 presumed dead in Washington state paper mill implosion." South China Morning Post reported the story as "Rescuers find 6 more bodies after US paper mill disaster."
