  6. 2/ A lawsuit has been filed seeking compensation for the evacuated victims of the #GardenGrove Hazmat incident in #California. This video interview with the attorney filing the suit is revealing & informative. With a BSc and Masters in aerospace engineering (the chemical involved is used in aerospace applications), this lawyer boasts the expert credentials necessary to comment and prosecute the suit. He exposes the role and liability of the company involved. Very glad someone is stepping up to hold the corporation involved responsible for the extensive damage already done. #Hazmat #corporations #capitalism #PublicHealth

  7. In Southern #California 50,000 residents of dense, urban #OrangeCounty have been evacuated due to a potential explosive #Hazmat situation. A storage tank full of an extremely volatile and potentially toxic chemical (MMA) is leaking and could either spill chemicals or explode. What a freaking mess this is, and to date nobody seems to know how to remedy it without significant collateral damage. The corporation involved, a subsidiary of a British Corp which in turn is a subsidiary of a huge multinational corporation, has clearly been negligent. They had almost a million dollar fine levied in 2022 for issues around their plant. This is what happens when greedy #corporations prioritize profits over safety and the well-being of the communities where they are located. #Capitalism #CorporateGreed #GardenGrove

  8. Hmm, I should go figure out how many buildings would be destroyed if that thing goes off. 🤔

  13. Incident Command video dropped, reporting the internal temperature of the liquid methyl methacrylate has risen to 90F, up from 77F yesterday.

    Heat cures this stuff, apparently, so the hope is to slow cure it and stop the chemical reaction. It's basically resin.

    If the container ruptures, they want to be prepared with containment equipment to avoid an ocean spill.

  19. "....According to Dr. Tom Takubo, the chemical that was spilled is believed to be Bonderite. He says that the chemical is a pulmonary irritant that gets into and coats the lungs and keeps oxygen from getting into the bloodstream. Dr. Takubo says that he does not know the lasting impacts of exposure, but says that approximately 35-45 people are being decontaminated at the scene, and some will have to go to the hospital to be checked out...."
