The plant is trashed. Only one dead due to the BMW shutdown. If not for the COVID related BMW shutdown there would have been 275-300 people in the plant for third shift.

Haven't heard an update this morning, but last night there were still 2 people "missing"

That's crazy! That will take serious work to repair/rebuild.
