Brief story:
[spoiler]Hungary has declared a state of emergency in three regions after deadly toxic sludge flooded two villages on Monday, killing four people. It happened when a waste reservoir at an aluminum plant burst. Around 120 people were taken to hospital suffering from chemical burns. Emergency services say the clean-up's almost complete and are trying to neutralize the toxins by pouring plaster into the sludge.[/spoiler]

It happened 3 days ago, but I still don't know what to say...

The village of Kolontár was evacuated this morning, as there are visible damages on the north side of the dam. Another sludge spill is expected soon...
