The owner of a factory where six workers died last year in flooding from Hurricane Helene won’t face charges after a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation found no criminal wrongdoing. First Judicial District Attorney General Steven Finney announced the decision to close the case on Friday. Finney says the investigation found no evidence that Impact Plastics employees were told they would be fired if they left the factory. It also found employees had time to evacuate the industrial park in Erwin, Tennessee. The conclusion mirrors that of a similar investigation by the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It found that even though the exit road was submerged, workers could have evacuated by makeshift routes.
