Nippon Dynawave plant explosion in Washington leaves many dead, injured

A chemical tank imploded and ruptured at a Nippon Dynawave Packaging facility in the US province of Washington on Tuesday, resulting in multiple deaths and critical injuries, representatives stated.

Urgent condition responders remained at the site in the metro of Longview in Cowlitz County, about 45 miles north of Portland, Oregon, stated the Longview Fire Division in a joint official note with Nippon and the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Division.

Multiple patients who suffered from chemical burns and other injuries were transported to nearby hospitals. Representatives stated the implosion posed "no immediate security concern to the surrounding community."

The comment stated that representatives "can confirm deaths related to the event" along with "multiple critical injuries," but did not provide figures.

At least nine labor and one firefighter were taken to hospitals from the site, stated Scott Goldstein, the Cowlitz 2 Fire & Recovery effort chief who was among those who reacted. The number of deaths was "undetermined," he further stated at a press short report.
