Victims of the Washington paper mill disaster included husbands and grandfathers
A chemical tank rupture at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, Washington, resulted in 11 presumed deaths, including a grandfather and a young husband, with eight others injured. The spill released 500,000 gallons of corrosive 'white liquor,' prompting a slow recovery effort due to chemical hazards. The company's parent organization, Nippon Paper Group, expressed condolences.
