Tank Crack Fuels Hope Amid Orange County Chemical Leak Crisis The discovery of a pressure relieving crack in the leaking industrial tank at GKN Aerospace's Garden Grove facility has brought hope to the nearly 50,000 people evacuated from their homes.
The crisis, which began on Thursday and has entered its fourth day, has been marked by dire warnings of potential catastrophe.
Evacuation orders have expanded to cover six cities across Orange County, with Governor Gavin Newsom declaring a state of emergency and mobilizing state resources.
