Here we are on the Eve of a great event...it's like the ALIVE movie without all the eating...hey , if I die eat me to stay alive...but if you have .59 cents for Kraft dinner...eat that.
Some of the top drillers in the world are there...it's like NASA shoots for the creamy center.
After all they have been through...maybe this will become some twisted reality show...the LAST MINER OUT.
Lets all just be glad..if nothing else unities man..it's a great survivor story.
Less than 14 days later..it is so big you can see it from space, but if the Oil Sands in Alberta were red they could be seen from space without a zoom lens.
I hate money grubbing company owners that profit from normal peoples' backs...
If in this thread you read anything else..
I just post for the...hang on...why am I explaining myself to you?
Twice recommended...I'll give it a try...Triangle was a good unknown and
I always wanted to see a remake of.."Day of the Triffards" and some fool made it a series.
A criminal probe into the toxic sludge disaster in western Hungary has been launched amid fresh concerns that the Danube River could still be at risk.
The problems began Monday when a sludge reservoir burst at a metals plant in Ajka, a town located about 160 kilometres southwest of Budapest.
It flowed down roads and through homes, quickly dumping an estimated 1 million cubic metres of toxic waste on Ajka and six other towns in the area.
By Wednesday, the sludge had flowed within 100 kilometres of the Danube -- a 2,850-kilometre-long river that flows through Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Moldova, as well as into the Black Sea.
While Hungary has not asked for assistance in dealing with the disaster so far, spokesperson Joe Hennon said, the European Union is monitoring the situation and is ready to help.
He said the EU is highly concerned about the threat the sludge poses to Hungary and to its neighbours.
Let us know if we can help. I am not the leader of all Canadians, DART.
Rough.
Oh yah doens't matter why the Dam Dam failed..it did.
We expect contamination through the sediment of the waterways, but also contamination with heavy metals, with lead, possibly cadmium," he told CTV News Channel. "And there's the risk of radioactive contamination with these sludges as well, because they concentrate naturally occurring radioactive elements."
However, Tily said that although chemical analyses of the sludge were ongoing Wednesday, early test results show "there is no radioactivity."
MAL Rt. has said the sludge is not considered hazardous waste under European Union standards.
The EU confirmed the company had a licence to operate and said there was no indication there was anything wrong with the licence.

It's incredibly corrosive. It's caustic," said Scott Cardiff, international campaign co-ordinator with Earthworks. "These red sludges produced from the alumina refining are very dangerous for humans and for the ecosystems." "We expect contamination through the sediment of the waterways, but also contamination with heavy metals, with lead, possibly cadmium," he told CTV News Channel.
Now AMP I don't know where you're getting your news..but Caustic and corrosive covers my point
What this story is not telling is a gold mine..operating under the radar...and dumping
