Poison flood

An aerial view of excavators working at a broken dyke of a reservoir that contained red mud of an alumina factory near Ajka, 156 kms southwest of Budapest, Hungary. The dyke broke on Monday, and over one million cubic meters of the poisonous chemical sludge inundated three villages, killing a number of people, injuring over a hundred and causing hundreds of families be evacuated.
