Crews recover another victim after Nippon Dynawave chemical tank collapse
Crews have recovered another victim from a massive chemical tank rupture at a paper mill in Washington state.
Among the 11 workers killed in the disaster were two brothers who worked there together, an electrician who would help his farmer neighbors cut hay, and a trivia champ.
A tank containing more than 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of a mixture used to break down wood for making paper collapsed Tuesday morning at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, a city along the Columbia River.
The accident sent a flood of caustic chemicals powerful enough to overturn pickup trucks and damage buildings at the site.
