Toxic Red Sludge Disaster Hits Hungary

Oh God! The Hungarian government has declared a state of emergency after a million cubic feet’s worth of toxic red sludge spilled out of a ruptured waste reservoir at an aluminum plant 100 miles southwest of Budapest. The nasty goop has spread across 15.4 square miles and killed five people and injured many other and threatens to contaminate the Danube. So this is sort of like the volcano and the oil spill meet Three Mile Island?
