At least one person was killed and nine workers were unaccounted for following the implosion of a chemical tank at a pulp and paper mill in southern Washington state on Tuesday, local authorities said. The tank’s rupture at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. facility in Longview, a city located along the southern Washington border with Oregon, injured eight employees and one firefighter, the Longview Fire Department said. The department didn’t say whether the person who was killed was a worker. Officials said the families of all nine employees who remain unaccounted for have been notified. A spokesperson for PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview confirmed to CBS News that the hospital received nine patients from the incident, one of whom was deceased.
Four others have been transferred to the Legacy Oregon Burn Center in Portland, Oregon, PeaceHealth said. Legacy Health confirmed to CBS News in a statement it was treating patients from the incident, but it was not clear if there were any others beyond the four who had been transferred from the PeaceHealth facility. Authorities said some victims had suffered burns or inhalation injuries, and that the severity of the injuries ranged from minor to critical. Authorities said there was no immediate threat to the public, but the tank’s unstable condition is “creating hazardous conditions for emergency personnel.”
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Proverbs 16:32
