Toxic Sludge in Europe

Several towns in Hungary were flooded yesterday with a reddish brown liquid that looked like mud. But it was actually something much worse. It was a toxic byproduct from an aluminum plant that had a MAJOR accident.


--The plant's reservoir burst, causing a flash flood of toxic sludge that covered 16 square miles. The sludge is so toxic, it can burn human skin. At least four people were killed, and 120 were injured.


--There's a crazy video on YouTube that shows the flood raging through a small town.
