Toxic waste water turns Colorado river bright yellow

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper on Monday declared a "state of disaster emergency" over the accidental release of more than three million gallons (11.3 million liters) of potentially toxic wastewater from a defunct Colorado gold mine into local streams. The waste water has turned parts of the Animas River a bright mustard yellow and now threatens to enter a lake that provides large parts of America's southwest with drinking water.

That's the Cayahoga burning in Ohio. Thank god that liberal Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, who knows what would have happened otherwise!

Its unbelieveable Ben, how humanity is this stupid at times.

Maybe it is just the angle but it does look like a face with a gaping mouth..

Glad I am not the only that thinks it is.

Exactly, very shortsighted and sort of disappointing as a species ...

But yeah, I saw it as soon as you said something Smile

For me, it's a look of angst, like the The Scream, by Edward Munch.
