A massive chemical tank holding nearly a million gallons of a corrosive liquid imploded and collapsed at a Washington paper mill, killing at least one worker and leaving nine others unaccounted for, authorities said. 

Nine other people were hurt in the spill, with some severely injured. Emergency responders were still working on recovery efforts at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co in Longview, but hours after the implosion, some liquid remained in the collapsed tank, complicating efforts to reach victims, the Longview Fire Department said Tuesday evening. 

The fire department, in a written statement, said the tank remains unstable, creating hazardous conditions for emergency personnel."
