These informations are from an e-mail of anonymous witness published on a website on Saturday,and some of these info are already disproved (toilet paper and newspaper as bandages,thats just ridiculous).
Hungary is not the most high tech country,but in situations like this you can be sure that the teams on field involved in the rescue and cleaning are equipped with best available equipment.

I did wonder, these kinda things do surface during these times, that's why I said that the confidence is medium.
If this thing is going to get into waterways, the countries who need to be, and are, looking out are Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania, but I imagine by the time it gets to the Black Sea it'll be pretty diluted.

Yes,and it's sad that some media like these kind of rumors and publish them as facts.

It has been neutralized and diluted,and the water quality of the Danube is as it was before the accident.

A new dam has been built,because new cracks appeared on the wall of the reservoir and it will probably collapse.
