Authorities in Washington state say the death toll from a chemical tank rupture has risen to 11. Crews are recovering the bodies of people previously reported missing after the incident, and officials state that all nine missing workers have been recovered. Earlier reports described the situation as a tank implosion involving a large chemical storage unit containing “white liquor,” a solution including sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide used in industrial processing. The incident first produced reports that multiple workers were missing and presumed dead, with crews recovering some remains in the days after the rupture. Subsequent updates confirmed additional fatalities, bringing the total confirmed deaths to 11. Across the coverage, authorities consistently refer to the rupture/implosion of a 3.4 million-litre chemical tank and confirm that rescue and recovery operations continue until all missing individuals are accounted for. The reports do not describe the cause of the tank failure or provide details about any injuries outside the confirmed fatalities.
