Toxic Sludge Damage in Hungary
The destroyed interior of a house in Kolontár. The toxic sludge is still on everything. The evacuated part of Kolontár is now open for citizens to move back to their houses, but the cleaning process is still not finished. The toxic sludge flood occurred on the 4th October and it was caused by the rupture of a red sludge reservoir at an alumina plant.
