Darwin, Garden Grove, Stanton, incident, politics, health, Orange County, Breaking, Local

Garden Grove city council members are demanding accountability from GKN Aerospace after a chemical tank emergency forced 50,000 residents to evacuate. The council voted to send a letter demanding answers and a public appearance.

- The emergency began on May 21 with a chemical spill at GKN Aerospace on Western Avenue. - No injuries or illnesses were reported, but cleanup has been delayed due to unavailable resources.

- GKN contributed $3 million to a community fund, but residents and officials say it's insufficient. - Residents criticized inadequate shelter and called for the company to be shut down.

The council will meet tomorrow for further updates and discussions on holding GKN accountable.
