Episode Details

Eleven lives lost in a deadly tank implosion in Longview — and now, two major investigations are racing to uncover what went wrong. The state’s Department of Labor and Industries is digging into workplace safety failures, while the federal Chemical Safety Board is zooming out to examine industry-wide regulations. Both agencies are working side by side to prevent future disasters. Meanwhile, workers’ comp staff have been on the ground since day one, offering critical support to injured workers and grieving families. And behind the tragedy, a $300 million tech overhaul is underway — replacing outdated 1980s systems with modern tools to speed up claims and free up staff to better serve those in need.
