AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowIn late May, GKN Aerospace's chemical storage tank, containing over 7,000 gallons of toxic material, overheated, prompting the evacuation of more than 50,000 residents in Garden Grove. The tank reached a maximum temperature of 100F (38C), while production of aircraft windows at GKN's facility is currently at 50% of normal capacity.
