NEW: Supervisors threatened to fire candle factory workers if they left hours before deadly tornado leveled their facility, employees say. nbcnews.to/31SRk8h
As a catastrophic tornado approached Mayfield, Kentucky, employees of a candle factory heard the warning sirens and wanted to leave the building.

But at least four workers say supervisors warned employees that they would be fired if they left their shifts early.
For hours, up to 15 workers beseeched managers to allow them to take shelter at their own homes, only to have their requests rebuffed, the workers say.

Fearing their safety, some in fact left during their shifts regardless of the repercussions.

SPECIAL REPORT: To build electric cars, manufacturers need to mine nickel.

To dig up more nickel, a mining company plans to bulldoze a section of pristine rainforest.

The “ethical dilemma” of when promising tech results in environmental harm:
nbcnews.to/3GklH6u
A nickel mine stretching nearly 4 square miles scars a rainforest in Palawan, Philippines.

The mine, Rio Tuba, plays a vital role in satisfying the global demand for a mineral more coveted than ever due in part to the explosion of the electric car industry.
The raw nickel dug out of the ground here ends up in the lithium batteries of plug-in vehicles manufactured by Tesla, Toyota and other automakers, according to an @NBCNews review of company filings and shipping records.

As oil companies carve up more of the rainforest, a new study says no place in the world uses more oil from beneath the Amazon than California.

Published in partnership with @pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN #NBCNewsThreads (1/8) nbcnews.to/3ptuZpS
@pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN Last year alone, some 70M barrels of oil from the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador flowed to the U.S. California accounted for nearly 56M barrels, far more than the 5 other states that received oil: Texas (6M), Louisiana (6M), Mississippi (0.5M), Washington (0.4M). (2/8)
@pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN About half of the Amazon oil exported to California went to 3 refineries in and around Los Angeles, the report said. California drivers fill up on Amazon oil at gas stations operated by major brands such as Marathon, Chevron and Shell. (3/8)

SPECIAL REPORT: Protesters injured by police last year are still healing from their wounds — but some never will.

Victims describe the lasting effects of broken bones, torn ligaments, scarred faces, and blindness suffered at the hands of officers.
nbcnews.to/3oCTxMQ
Rickia Young was driving to pick up a friend from a protest in Philadelphia in Oct. 2020 when officers broke her windows and dragged her from the car.

Young says she suffered torn ligaments, an injury to her back, and lacerations to her face.

She was never charged with a crime. Image
“They treated me like an animal,” Young says.

“I can barely play with my son. If I try to run, my back will hurt. I can barely do everyday things. I can’t even hold a baby for a long time because my arm will give out on me.” Image
