Toxic Water Spill in Hungary

On Tuesday of this week, a dame broke at the Ajkai Timfoldgyar aluminum plant causing gallons of toxic water waste to spill into towns in Hungary. This all began when the dame holding back all of the red sludge broke, causing it all to flow out. Luckily only two percent of the toxic water escaped into the neighboring towns. My assumption  is that the company that this plant belonged to ,M.A.L probably didn't check the condition of their dames. If they did, this could probably have been avoided.http://www.care2.com/causes/environment/blog/toxic-sludge-spill-kills-four-and-threatens-rivers-in-hungary/
