Hungary drowned in sludge flood
by Zivka Deleva


The flood that overtook Hungary might put at risk dozens of other nations as well, warn the environmental groups from the European Union. That might cost huge aftermath for people, because the sludge flood has been toxic. The investigative agencies in this country already started the criminal research about who is guilty for this disaster. The experts are afraid that Danube might carry on with its flow the Hungarians problem too. What really happened? A sludge reservoir burst at the metals plants in Ajka, a town about 160 kilometers from Budapest. Some hundreds people had to leave their homes and find a better place to stay. But, not all of them were lucky. Four lost their! lives, one less is missing and about 120 people were injured. Cars flew, bridges were torn apart, and the waste “visited” others Hungarian towns as well. The officials still are not familiar to the reason that provoked this failure. They even say that only two weeks ago, the plant’s reservoir has been inspected and everything was just fine. But, the responsibility doesn’t end at this point. It is completely normal that the National Police had opened the case because it is possible that some guardians haven’t done their job well. It is still not known whether the disaster may not repeat again, so the emergency rate is at great level. The EU finds that this problem might become a bigger disaster for other countries where Danube circulates. According to Greenpeace International, this disaster is one of the top three that had happened in Europe in the last two or three decades.
