Eight dead in Washington paper-mill tank collapse as recovery continues
Eight people are confirmed dead and three remain missing after a tank containing more than 500,000 gallons of a caustic chemical collapsed at Nippon Dynawave Packaging in Longview, WA, injuring eight others. Recovery is slow due to hazardous chemicals and structural risks; investigators are probing the cause while responders decontaminate remains and themselves and avoid a dangerous zone.
