Toxic red sludge reaches Danube in Hungary

poor people....

Wow! I thought this only happened in 3 world countries!

Opps! I meant 3rd, like THIRD, in Third world countries! Too bad for those getting this poison in their water, etc...

Sigh. Guess we won't be happy until there's no food or life left in the water.

The only good thing here is that Hungary is part of the EU and will get a lot of help on this.

This is a horrible accident. They will really suffer for years with this mess. < :-)

Slimes dams can be dangerous if not properly monitored

And so it all goes on...

the result of industrial civilisation...this is Hungarys Cerhnobyl...what will be done to the perpetrators?

If you watch the video clips, tis red sludge initially came flowing out like a flood, pushing cars out of the way, demolishing houses, all of it toxic waste in water. Absolutely tragic disaster.

"this is Hungarys Cerhnobyl"

except that it's not radioactive. 8-/

taj, it is.

The Waterworks of Budapest takes samples 7/24 in every two hours to check the Danube's conditions, the wells at the riverbank, etc, also installed pH-metres which are being monitored. So at least the Danube is safe now, and we can take water from it safely. This really is a disaster, the people in Kolontár lost everything what they worked for. Their loss is really immensurable.
