Dont get me wrong this is a horrible situation and I hope they can get things sorted out.
But there is something that has bugged me from day 1 of this story.
Evidently the 'sludge' is from an aluminum mill 'storage pit'.
Maybe I'm wrong but I thought Hungary was one of the 'leaders' on the green bandwagon? Was there no regulatory oversight?
Ive heard two news reports that made me want to toss my radio out the window.
* "Sludge spill equals the amount of oil spilled in the gulf" (WTF does that have to do with anything?)
* Spill is equal in volume to storage arrangements of facilitys in the US (Lets hope there is a little better oversight and construction there)
