Hurricane Helene Tragedy: Six Factory Workers Missing in Tennessee Floods

As families hold vigils, questions arise about the safety measures at Impact Plastics during the deadly storm.

Hurricane Helene has claimed at least 227 lives across six states, with six workers from Impact Plastics in Erwin, Tennessee, still missing.
The missing workers include four Mexican Americans, highlighting the disproportionate impact on the local Latino community.
Survivors and families are questioning why the evacuation at the plastics factory was delayed, as state investigations into the company's actions are underway.
Impact Plastics' president claims workers were evacuated in time, but survivors report the floodwaters rose too rapidly for safe escape.
Community vigils are being held nightly, with calls for better support and resources for Spanish-speaking residents affected by the disaster.
