At least one person was killed when a tank of caustic chemicals ruptured. Officials said they will resume searching for missing workers May 27.
Authorities say there’s no hope of finding more survivors at a Washington paper mill where nine missing workers remain missing after a tank imploded and released a highly destructive chemical mixture.
Authorities are trying to tamp down the risk of a possible explosion or leak of a damaged chemical tank at a facility in Southern California.
OC Fire Authority officials said firefighters verified the tank is cracked and temperature has been dropping – eliminating the chances of a massive explosion as thousands of residents remain evacuated.
