Overheated California chemical tank near Disneyland set to fail

EPA chief Lee Zeldin has warned that an overheated chemical tank in Orange County, California, is expected to fail, with a "low-volume release" of flammable chemicals considered the most likely scenario. Officials are preparing for the possibility of a larger explosion and have taken precautionary measures near the site. The facility sits close to Disneyland in Anaheim.
