En las afueras de Los Ángeles, una ciudad entera contuvo el aliento mientras un depósito de producto químico industrial amenazaba con convertir un viernes ordinario en desastre. Más de 40.000 personas abandonaron sus hogares en Garden Grove ante el riesgo de explosión o fuga tóxica de metil metacrilato, un compuesto altamente inflamable. Las autoridades, conscientes de que no toda crisis admite una solución limpia, optaron por enfriar el tiempo y consultar con expertos, aceptando que a veces el mal menor —una fuga controlada— es la única forma de evitar el mal mayor.
