Tennessee state authorities are investigating the company that owns a plastics factory where 11 workers were swept away by cataclysmic flooding unleashed by Hurricane Helene.
Unicoi County Hospital tried to evacuate 11 patients and 43 others Friday morning after Hurricane Helene caused the Nolichucky River to flood, driving them from the building’s interior. The conditions made rescue efforts difficult.In this image made from a video provided by NewsNation, people can be seen on the roof of the Unicoi County Hospital in Erwin, Tenn., on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024.

“Impact Plastics has not been contacted by the TBI yet but will fully cooperate with their investigation,” said the company’s spokesperson Tony Treadway. He said the company is preparing an internal review which it will release to the public. In one video, Ingram looks down at the camera, a green Tennessee National Guard helicopter hovering above him, hoisting one of the other survivors.

Jarvis said he tried to drive away in his car, but the water on the main road got too high, and only off-road vehicles were finding ways out of the flood zone.
Ingram said he survived by grabbing onto plastic pipes that were on the truck. He said he and four others floated for about half a mile before they found safety on a sturdy pile of debris.
