On an ordinary working day in Washington state, a catastrophic tank rupture at a paper and packaging plant shattered the lives of those inside, killing at least one worker and leaving nine others unaccounted for.

As rescue teams search the wreckage and investigators begin the slow work of understanding what failed, the human cost of industrial risk is once again made visible.
