当局周四表示，华盛顿州南部一家纸浆造纸厂发生化学品储罐爆裂事故，9名失踪工人中已有6具遗体被找到。
该储罐于周二在位于朗维尤的日本 Dynawave 包装公司（Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co.）厂区发生破裂。朗维尤是华盛顿州南部与俄勒冈州接壤的城市。此前已有两人被宣告死亡，至此总死亡人数升至11人。
周四被找到的6具遗体位于一处工人区域，该区域是员工轮班前后的集合地点。当局此前曾指出，事故发生在换班时段。

救援人员无法说明何时能找到最后三名失踪者的遗体。朗维尤消防大队大队长马特·阿莫斯周四表示，现场“情况极为复杂”，裸露的电线、坍塌的建筑等工业危险物品给搜救工作带来极大困难。他还提到，救援人员必须轮流进入现场，每次离开后都要经过洗消流程。
事故中另有多人受伤，但周四尚未公布具体受伤人数及伤者情况。部分伤者已被送往俄勒冈州波特兰的 Legacy 俄勒冈烧伤中心接受治疗。
发生故障的储罐内装载的是白液——一种常用于纸浆和纸张加工的化学品，主要成分为氢氧化钠和硫化钠。当局此前表示，该储罐容量约为90万加仑，事故发生时罐内物料约为三分之二满。当地当局周三估计，受损储罐内仍残留约2.5万加仑物料，正缓慢泄漏。
阿莫斯表示，储罐周四的状态与前一天相比没有变化。
针对事故引发的环境担忧，美国环境保护署协调员布鲁克斯·斯坦菲尔德周四表示，虽然硫化氢是主要担忧物质，但目前空气中未检测到该物质。不过，储罐泄漏的部分液体已经流入附近一片沟渠系统，而这片沟渠位于该市饮用水源上方，且有人员和宠物可以进入该区域。
公共工程主管克里斯·柯林斯表示，检测结果显示目前饮用水安全，“无需担忧”。柯林斯称，取水来自200英尺深的含水层，且水井“受到很好的保护”，不受地表环境问题影响。
斯坦菲尔德表示，当局正在实施一项分两阶段的沟渠清理计划：先向系统内注入淡水以稀释化学品，待pH值（酸度）降至安全水平后，再将液体排入哥伦比亚河。柯林斯表示，消防栓已被打开以协助此项工作。
斯坦菲尔德还表示，储罐破裂后最初几分钟内，泄漏的白液就已流入哥伦比亚河，但具体排放量尚不明确。
“据了解排放量非常有限，”他补充道，“目前在哥伦比亚河钓鱼和游泳都是安全的。”他同时指出，在受污染的沟渠系统中发现了死鱼，预计在该区域完成安全清理前，还会发现更多死鱼。
日本 Dynawave 包装公司后勤服务总监布莱恩·伍德表示，事故发生后工厂已停工，仅“部分关键基础设施”仍在“最低配员”状态下运营。他表示，公司已“做出安排”为停工员工支付薪资，并将持续此项措施。
当被问及工厂的公共安全担忧时，伍德对记者表示：“我们身处一个高风险环境和高风险行业，我们在开展各项工作时都会极其谨慎。事实会说明一切。”

The bodies of six of the nine missing workers have been recovered from the aftermath of a chemical tank implosion at a pulp and paper mill in southern Washington state, authorities said Thursday.
The tank ruptured at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. facility in Longview, a city located along the southern Washington border with Oregon, on Tuesday. Two people had previously been pronounced dead, bringing the total death toll to 11.
The six bodies recovered Thursday were found in what was described as a workers’ area, where employees would gather before and after their shifts. Authorities had previously noted the implosion happened during a shift change.

Responders couldn’t say when they expected to recover the final three bodies. Longview Fire Department Battalion Chief Matt Amos said Thursday the scene was “very complex,” with industrial hazards like exposed electrical wiring and collapsed structures making recovery difficult. He also noted crews have to rotate in and out of the scene and go through a decontamination process every time they leave.
Several more people were injured in the incident, but the exact number and their conditions were unclear Thursday. Some of the patients had been transported to the Legacy Oregon Burn Center in Portland, Oregon.
The tank that failed was holding white liquor— a chemical commonly used in paper and pulp processing, which consists of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Authorities previously said the tank had an approximate capacity of 900,000 gallons and was about two-thirds full at the time of the incident. Local authorities estimated Wednesday that roughly 25,000 gallons of material may remain inside the damaged tank, and it is leaking out slowly.
Amos said the tank was in the same condition Thursday as it was the day before.
Addressing the environmental concerns from the incident, Environmental Protection Agency coordinator Brooks Stanfield said Thursday that while hydrogen sulfide was a main concern, none has been detected in the air. However, some of the liquid from the tank leaked into a complex of nearby ditches that sit above a source for the city’s drinking water, and that people and pets have access to.
Chris Collins, a Public Works director, said testing indicates the water is safe to drink for now and that “there is no cause for concern.” Collins said the water is drawn from an aquifer that is 200 feet deep, and the wells are “very protected” from surface environmental concerns.
Stanfield said authorities were implementing a two-part plan to clear the ditches, involving pumping fresh water into the system to dilute the chemicals, and then flushing it out into the Columbia River once the pH, or acidity, is brought down to a safe level. Collins said fire hydrants were being opened up to help with that effort.
Stanfield also said white liquor from the tank failure had reached the Columbia River in the first minutes after the rupture, but the exact volume isn’t known.
“The understanding is it was very limited,” he said, adding, “It is safe to fish and swim in the Columbia River right now.” He did note dead fish were found in the contaminated ditch complex, and they expect to continue to find more until that system can be safely flushed.
Nippon Dynawave’s director of support services, Brian Wood, said the mill was shut down after the implosion, with only “some critical infrastructure” still operating with “minimum staffing.” He said the company has “made arrangements” to pay people who are not working and “will continue to do so.”
Asked about public safety concerns at the plant, Wood told reporters, “We work in a highly hazardous atmosphere and a highly hazardous industry. We approach it with the utmost care in everything that we do. I’ll let the facts speak for themselves.”
