Recovery teams have located six of the nine missing workers at a Washington paper mill following a devastating rupture of a chemical tank. The incident, which occurred at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Company, resulted in the release of a hazardous chemical flood leading to severe injuries and fatalities.
