The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the state’s criminal investigation agency, said Wednesday it is looking into allegations against an Erwin plastics factory where several workers died and some went missing after they were swept away by floodwaters from Hurricane Helene.
“At the request of 1st Judicial District Attorney General Steve Finney, TBI agents are investigating allegations involving Impact Plastics,” Leslie Earhart, the bureau’s spokesperson, said in a statement to NBC News. The bureau deferred additional questions to the District Attorney General’s Office.
Finney in a statement said that he specifically asked “that they review the occurrences of Friday, September 27, 2024, to identify any potential criminal violations.”
I love in the insurance industry when they say our customers need us, you need to be here.
Yeah it’s frozen and you know who won’t need an insurance claim? Me.
This kind of shit is gross. A handful of dollars YOUR dollars means fuck all to me.
Plus, it ends up costing them more in the long run.
Shutting down the production line was probably cheaper than a few wrongful death lawsuits.
