The threat of a catastrophic explosion at a Southern California aerospace plant has been eliminated after a damaged chemical tank cracked and relieved pressure overnight, officials say. The development eases fears of a possible blast that forced evacuations affecting about 50,000 people near the Garden Grove facility. The evacuation order declared by Gov. Gavin Newsom remains in place. A local environmental disaster expert told Arizona’s Family that if the tank did explode, any impacts beyond Southern California would depend on wind conditions, but chemical fumes could potentially reach Arizona.
