LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — The implosion of a chemical tank at a pulp and paper mill in Washington state on Tuesday killed one person and nine others are unaccounted for, authorities said.
Emergency responders were still working on recovery efforts at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, the Longview Fire Department said.
Cowlitz Fire and Rescue Chief Scott Goldstein later told a news conference that it was unclear how many workers had been killed. Asked how many remained missing, he replied: "We have information on that, but we're not releasing that information."
