Massive Fire Erupts at Nippon Dynawave: Longview, WA!

James Cobb, Mineral News Report Today. Firefighters battle an industrial fire on the Nippon DynaWave Packing Company's property in Longview, Washington this afternoon. Eleven workers gone after a massive chemical implosion at Paper Mill in one of the deadliest industrial accidents in Washington state history. A massive chemical tank containing hundreds of thousands of gallons of highly corrosive white liquor ruptured and imploded at the Nippon DynaWave Packing Company paper mill. Early Tuesday morning, the incident took 11 workers' lives and injured eight others. The incident took place at approximately 7.15 a.m. local time during a shift change at a facility in Longview, Washington. The tank, which held up to 900,000 gallons of white liquor, a caustic mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide used in the purpose of pulping paper to break down wood chips in the paper pulp, was roughly 60-90% full at the time of the breakdown or failure. The rupture released a flood of hazardous chemicals across the plant grounds, overturning vehicles, damaging structures, and contaminating nearby ditches and the Columbia River, in fact. Again, one of Washington State's all-time worst chemical environmental explosions or incidents.
