Fire officials announced that a crack in a chemical tank at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove has reduced pressure, eliminating the threat of a catastrophic BLEVE explosion. However, dangers remain and evacuations of 50,000 residents continue.
- The crack at the top of the tank was discovered overnight Saturday and has helped release pressure. - Tank temperature has dropped from 100°F to 93°F, but crews aim to lower it further to 50-60°F.
- A think tank of experts developed out-of-the-box solutions to stabilize the situation. - Evacuation zones remain in effect with no timeline for repopulation.
