Saturday afternoon press conference:

A 9th person has died. He was discovered outside near the crash area and died of chlorine inhalation.

The evacuation and curfews will remain in effect until at least Wednesday. Some schools in the surrounding Graniteville area are going to remain closed until at least Tuesday but others within the county will open on Monday.

Law enforcement will begin animal retrieval this evening. They will begin at the outer rim of the evacuation area and will only attend to outdoor animals at this time. Some are surely dead but those that are alive will be taken to various vet clinics for evaluation.

The crash site remains a hot zone but work on sealing the leak has begun. EPA warns there could be a secondary release of chlorine gas.

I just saw the story about the 9th body discovered on foxnews website. Is it the cleanup process that may release a second leakage of the gas?
