An environmental disaster of epic proportions just happened in Tennessee. Monday night 2.6 million cubic yards (the equivalent of 525.2 million gallons, 48 times more than the Exxon Valdez spill by volume) of coal ash sludge broke through a dike at TVAs Kingston coal-fired power plant covering 400 acres up to six feet deep, damaging 12 homes and wrecking a train.

    Thanks for posting

  • TVA is responsible for this, and should be held accountable... if you live anywhere in tennessee, this WILL affect you, and you should be outraged

  • This may be caused by movement underground.

    Remember New Madrid is pending the big one soon! Studies show the ground is under a lot of stress.
