50,000 evacuated as crews race to prevent CA chemical explosion
As officials in Southern California race to cool down a massive tank filled with a toxic chemical at risk of explosion, tens of thousands of nearby residents have been forced to leave their homes due to health concerns and the risk of catastrophic damage if there is a blast.

CNN’s Veronica Miracle has more from Los Angeles. Also, Cal State Long Beach chemistry & biochemistry lecturer Elaine Bernal and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin give more details on the threat.
