In the aftermath of the disastrous flooding in Erwin, Tennessee, a stark contrast emerged between the fates of six workers who died at Impact Plastics and dozens rescued from the nearby hospital.
The chaotic scene at Impact Plastics unfolded as muddy water from the Nolichucky River surged, leading to claims from workers that their survival was neglected compared to the hospital's evacuation.
A Washington Post investigation has shed light on how decisions made by local county leaders may have influenced the outcomes of the catastrophic flood, raising significant questions from families of the deceased.
With a criminal investigation now launched by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the families of the deceased workers are pressing for accountability over alleged negligence in the life-saving operations during the flood.
