Multiple suffer chemical burns, one dead as tank ruptures in Washington facility

The Longview Fire Department (LPD) confirmed the incident occurred near the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company.

Authorities did not know say how many people had been killed or injured, or how many of those people worked at the plant, which is about 45 miles northwest of Portland, Ore.

Fatalities have been confirmed at the scene of an implosion at a manufacturing plant in Longview, Washington, where emergency responders were continuing a recovery operation Tuesday afternoon.
