1 Dead And 9 Missing After Chemical Tank Implodes At Washington Paper Mill. At least one person has died and nine others remain missing after a massive chemical tank imploded at a paper mill in Washington. The incident happened Tuesday morning at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging facility in Longview. Authorities said the 3.4-million-litre tank contained “white liquor,” a corrosive chemical used in paper production. At least nine people, including a firefighter, were injured, with some suffering burns and inhalation injuries. Emergency crews warned the damaged tank remains unstable, creating dangerous conditions for rescue teams. Officials said the cause of the implosion is still under investigation, but there is currently no immediate threat to the public. Patty Murray, a US senator from Washington, described the incident as an “absolute tragedy.” The mill employs nearly 1,000 workers and manufactures materials used in tissues, cartons, cups and printing paper.
