Tank Crack in Garden Grove
Description
Fifty thousand residents in Garden Grove are under evacuation orders as firefighters battle a dangerous chemical threat at a GKN Aerospace plant. A tank holding 7,000 gallons of volatile methyl methacrylate—flammable, toxic, and potentially explosive—is cooling with water after overheating. A suspected crack may be relieving pressure, which officials call a “best-case scenario” to avoid a catastrophic blast. Still, a leak could cause serious health risks and environmental damage. Containment barriers are in place, and residents must stay away until declared safe—no fumes detected yet, but caution remains high.
