    if you want to see what happened to Erwin, TN, here's drone footage of the aftermath (with annoying music, recommend mute) and a link to the google map for the area

    you can see the remains of the Impact Plastics facility at 2:20 in the video

    I assumed when I watched it that of course everyone had evacuated from that area

    agony-deep

    the absolute horror of knowing that many people were trapped there by their fucking employer inspires a deep and visceral thirst for violent retribution

      Coming from a place that gets a lot of natural disasters, it's always surprising to see the apparent mismatch between the number of deaths and the actual damage.

      Hearing about instances such as these makes the death toll more understandable.
