- Four workers died and a fifth was hospitalized on Saturday due to a chemical leak at a DuPont (DD) plant near Houston.
- The chemical, methyl mercaptan, is a liquid when contained, but becomes a gas when it is released and mixes with oxygen.
- "Our focus at the moment is solely on the employees and the family members," says spokesman Aaron Woods. "But as we move past that we will begin a full investigation to understand what went wrong and what we need to do to prevent this from ever happening again."
