This morning, officials say the risk of a major explosion at the aerospace facility in Garden Grove is now off the

table, but the emergency has not ended.

>> The most catastrophic and worst case scenario was mitigated and resolved.

It's not over yet. And I want to reemphasize that it's not over yet.

>> Officials have now reduced the evacuation orders for 34,000 people.

>> When you go home, you can feel safe.

There was no contamination. There were no fumes. There were no vapors that came from this incident.

>> Emotionally happy to go back home.

>> But of those 50,000 residents forced to evacuate, 16,000 are still not allowed to return home.

>> This is just something I never even suspected could happen or so. It's been it's been really hard.

>> A crack found in the tank relieves some of the pressure inside. Officials have turned their focus now to containing any potential spill of that harmful methylmethacrylate.

And the Orange County District Attorney has now opened a criminal probe into how this happened.

And the company GKN Aeronautics did not comment on that criminal probe specifically, but they have said they are working with officials in this ongoing incident and they apologize to residents for all of these issues.
