For workers at a SW Washington mill, seemingly mundane decisions before their shift determined life or death when a tank imploded with thousands of gallons of corrosive chemical. One man arrived early so he could go to his wife's ultrasound appointment. He was one of 11 killed.

Through interviews and public records, we've pieced together what happened when a nearly 1 million-gallon tank imploded in a Longview, Wash. mill. There's much we don't know, but we do know who was there, and that they were hit with a chemical that burns worse than acid.

The Tuesday began like it normally did. Workers arrived for their day shift at a pulp mill and gathered for a safety meeting.
Within an hour, 11 were dead or dying, a dozen were injured and a mill town was forever changed. This is the story of that day

The 11 worked at Nippon from a few months to more than 15 years. One had planned to leave early Tuesday for his wife’s ultrasound appointment for their unborn child. Another was a grandfather. Two were brothers.

Last week, a massive fin whale got stranded on a Washington beach and died. Hundreds descended on Samish Island to see the endangered animal. And residents had a 40-ton decomposing carcass in their backyards.
NOAA wouldn’t move the whale. Now what?

Let the record show: Blowing up the whale was never an option (see: the Great Oregon Whale Explosion Disaster of 1970) but someone did bring up using a helicopter to move the 80,000 pound whale.
In the end, a commercial fishing vessel did the trick.

The Samish Island community has set up a GoFundMe to help pay off the costs of moving a 40-ton whale, like the float bags that cost $9,000. The residents didn't receive any government funding.
