Description

Damage is seen at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, Washington after a tank containing hazardous liquid imploded, on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Experts say the industry is inherently dangerous though the Longview disaster stands out as one of the most catastrophic.

Kraft pulp mills, which have been around for decades, use highly caustic chemicals known as white liquor and high‑temperature, high-pressure industrial processes to turn wood into paper and other products, making them inherently hazardous operations, industry experts say.
