Chemical Tank Implosion Leaves 10 Injured, Others Dead In WA

LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Authorities have confirmed that 10 people — including a responding firefighter — were injured after a chemical tank imploded at a pulp and paper mill in Washington state.

In a joint statement, Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. and local law enforcement said Tuesday that the tank’s rupture caused “multiple critical injuries” as well as fatalities. Authorities said some victims had suffered burns or inhalation injuries. There was no immediate threat to the public. The statement, issued more than four hours after the tank imploded at 7:15 a.m., said crews were continuing recovery operations and that no identifying information would be released about victims pending notification of relatives.

M and M Extra - Episode 13 - 5/20/26

Big news out of Texas—Trump just endorsed Ken Paxton over John Cornyn. Sorry, Mark. Told ya. Texas will need a strong GOP candidate to defeat that wacko James Talarico. And speaking of losing it—the governor of Maryland says America is racist to the core. Give me a break. Now Democrats are screaming that Black voting rights are in jeopardy. Jeopardy? Please. The only thing in jeopardy is their credibility. We're done with this nonsense.

Small Central PA Town Shares Deep Ties With America's Identity

As America marks its 250th anniversary, one small town in central Pennsylvania is reflecting on a tradition deeply tied to the nation's identity. Welcome to Boalsburg -- a community known as the birthplace of Memorial Day. The story dates back to October of 1864... during the final months of the Civil War. Residents Emma Hunter, Sophie Keller, and Elizabeth Meyer gathered in a cemetery to place flowers on the graves of loved ones lost in service to the country. What started as a quiet act of remembrance soon became an annual tradition -- one that spread across the nation and eventually evolved into Memorial Day. Today, more than 160 years later, Boalsburg continues honoring America's fallen with parades, ceremonies, reenactments, and tributes to military sacrifice. And during this America250 year, the town's message carries even more meaning. As the country prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence, places like Boalsburg serve as a reminder that America's story is not only about freedom gained -- but also the generations who gave their lives to protect it.

Remembering America's Founding Moments In NYC

In the heart of Lower Manhattan sits one of the most important surviving landmarks from America's founding -- Fraunces Tavern. Built in 1719, the historic tavern became a gathering place for revolutionaries during the American Revolution. It's best known as the site where George Washington delivered an emotional farewell to his Continental Army officers in 1783 -- just days after the British evacuated New York. Now, as the nation prepares to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, Fraunces Tavern is once again serving as a connection to the country's founding story.
