Criminal negligence inquiry into Hungary sludge spill
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11488386
<snip>
Police in Hungary have opened a criminal negligence inquiry after leaking chemical sludge caused the country's worst ecological disaster.

Hungary says it will take at least a year to clean up the red mud from an alumina plant reservoir in the western county of Veszprem.

Four people died and at least 120 needed medical treatment, while three are still missing.

The EU fears the sludge may seep across Hungary's borders via the Danube.

Given all the bauxite planets across Jamaica this is very scary
