Saw this yersterday. Unbelievable isn't it. And of course the owner's of the aluminum plant said the levee was sound and they had no idea it was going to fail. About 10% of the population of this planet is going to poison the whole freaking planet and the other 90% is kept distracted enough to let it happen.

My hope is that the Europeans, with their ability to get things done and come to agreement when it's in everyone's mutual best interest (like the Euro) will make an example of this company and it will spark change. Maybe, just maybe after years of profit over safety that the companies have pushed everyone too far and governments will be forced to comply with the wishes of the majority of the citizens. I really feel like this could be the moment when everything changes and starts getting better. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I need it to change because I am running out of hope.
