Hungary toxic sludge reservoir was damaged before it broke

While MAL company remains in stubborn denial, the images now available at Al Jazeera show that the chemical waste's reservoir dam was already leaking before it broke, killing many and destroying a whole river:


Hungary is now working as fast as possible to restore the broken dam before more toxic material (extremely alkaline, arsenic, heavy metals) is released to the environment.

I already commented how weak regulations may allow companies to get away with such criminal disasters, caused by negligence and irresponsible and inadmissible cost cuts. And how this situation of corporate irresponsibility cannot be tolerated by any healthy society.
