There are multiple reliable sources offering continued coverage of yesterday’s tragic incident, which resulted in the deaths of two Chicago firefighters and left many others injured. As the investigation continues, these reports provide valuable insight into what happened and the broader implications for the fire department and the city.

  • Dave Statter from Statter911.com has published a detailed post outlining the building code violations that were previously cited against the property owners. This information is crucial in understanding the potential risks that may have contributed to the disaster. You can read the full post here.
  • The Chicago Sun-Times has compiled a range of articles that cover various aspects of the tragedy. These include a historical perspective on previous deadly incidents involving the Chicago Fire Department, profiles of the fallen firefighters, Michael Stringer and John Ankrum, an editorial reflecting on the dangers of the job, a detailed breakdown of yesterday’s events, and a visual diagram showing how the structure collapsed.
  • The Chicago Tribune also offers a comprehensive collection of coverage. Their pieces include a timeline of the events with supporting visuals, an analysis of the structural issues in the building’s roof, a personal story about Commissioner Matthew Hoff, who lost his father in a similar collapse years ago, an article discussing how rare firefighter fatalities are, an editorial on the risks faced by those in the profession, and a photo gallery featuring 41 images capturing the aftermath of the incident.
As more details emerge, it's essential to stay informed through these trusted news outlets. The community is still reeling from the loss, and the ongoing coverage helps keep the public aware of the situation and the steps being taken to prevent future tragedies.

ESD Antistatic PVC Sheet Rod

HONYESD®Esd Antistatic Pvc Sheet known as anti-static polyvinyl chloride sheet, the base material is PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Through the coating technology, on the basis of perfectly retaining the properties of PVC such as corrosion resistance and flame retardancy, it also has excellent anti-static function.


Esd Antistatic Pvc Sheet Physical properties:
Excellent anti-static performance, with the same thermal processability as rigid PVC, and with the chemical resistance of rigid PVC. Flame retardant (self-extinguishing) Excellent durability, can maintain antistatic performance for a long time, surface inherent resistance 106-108, light transmittance above 73%.

HL-ESD PVC-04


Antistatic PVC sheet is characterized by good toughness, good impact resistance, strong chemical resistance, resistant to weak acids, generally used more in LCD production equipment (because the production of LCD will have weak acid chemical potions, etc.), in addition, PVC sheet has good flame retardancy, fire resistance (flame retardant grade UL-94 V-0), good processing performance can be cold bending; weakness is the transparency than Plexiglas and PC low ( The weakness is that the transparency is lower than that of Plexiglas and PC (80% light transmission); PVC board is poor in environmental protection (production and use of environmental pollution, waste is difficult to natural degradation), the main use for equipment cover, clean room partition, etc.


Anti-static Coating process (coating): the anti-static liquid is painted onto the surface of the sheet and then dried under ultraviolet light; or the sheet is clamped in the air and the anti-static liquid is dripped onto the surface of the sheet under the action of gravity; the process is commonly used in China.

Anti-static non-Coating process (transfer type): the anti-static film and the plate in one piece of molding, in order to avoid air impurities floating dust mixed into it, the whole process is completed in a sealed environment; due to the use of special technology, in the process of sheet extrusion molding, anti-static film will be attached to the surface of the plate, after high temperature cooling high pressure film, and finally tear off the film, so that the anti-static liquid evenly attached to the surface of the plate.
