Officials in the small town of Harriman, Tennessee are struggling to contain nearly half a billion gallons of runaway sludge from a coal-burning power plant. Priya David reports.
@DoJapan it isnt toxic. i work there started the day it happend nobody has died of it. there isnt anything even remotly toxic it was just ash not nucler waste
I live right here. We have our corrupt officials to comfort us and tell us it's all A-OK. As long as those people are rich and happy, we are all OK. ALL the creeks in knoxville run grey with polluted waters. Way Way before this spill happened. We are so polluted u would shit ur pants if you knew what oak ridge and our corrupt officials have done here. Cancer all over the place here. Thank God we have corruption to protect us.......
i can't believe how little coverage this is recieving. I suppose its partly due to economy but seriously, the government can waste billions on AIG but can't help us with this shit? And TVA is trying find a legal loophole until those effected don't have any rights! If this stuff doesn't get sorted out then this country doesn't deserve to continue to exist. I live a few miles downstream of this and have heard very little about this. This just goes to show how great a job TVA is doing to save face.
Like the other dozens of superfund sites that the government doesn't have the funds to clean up. Americans should just give up, drink the toxic sludge, and die for having no intuition, no independent thought, and not knowing their own heads from their asses.
I'm sorry, did she say "potentially toxic?" Half a billion? It was more like a billion point 1. CBS news is watering down this story. Why do I have a hard time believing TVS spokespersons and public officials about how well the contamination is being contained or why fish seem to be dying!?
"Fish were likely stranded and not poisoned" ... Um, why have they neg neglected to mention the fact that when people have drunk from the water, they vomit for up to 12 hours later? There are all sorts of dangerous heavy metals in that water. The fact that the TVA is brushing the matter aside and saying the water is safe is terrible.

Fish were stranded then they died then thier corpses jumped back into the water.
Am I the only one having trouble swallowing that?
