Two employees at Impact Plastics, located in Erwin, Tennessee, were found dead while more were still missing as of Tuesday.

According to that employee, supervisors never told the workers they could leave, even as the water started to rise outside.

Impact Plastics didn’t send employees home soon enough, gave them the impression they weren’t free to leave, or specifically forbade them from leaving until it was too late.

no further comment until the investigation concludes.
