WASHINGTON: Crews were set to resume searching Wednesday for nine workers at a Washington paper mill where a tank imploded, releasing a highly destructive chemical mixture called “white liquor” and causing at least one confirmed death. Authorities said there was no hope of finding more survivors of Tuesday’s tank implosion at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, which also injured nine other people, including a responding firefighter.
