Recovery effort resumes for missing victims of the Washington paper mill chemical tank disaster
Authorities have resumed the painstaking search for nine workers feared dead at a Washington state paper mill.
The deadly chemical tank ruptured at Tuesday the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. has devastated the city of Longview, where many families have worked in local mills for generations.
Among the 11 people presumed dead, including the missing, are a grandfather and a young husband.
Authorities say there is no hope of finding survivors.
Fire officials said Wednesday that recovering the missing would be slow and deliberate because of the dangers posed by the remaining chemicals.
