Sve je to počelo kad su se u ponedjeljak srušili potporni zidovi ogromnog rezervoara za otpad u rafineriji aluminija Ajkai Timfoldgyar u blizini gradića Ajka, 160 km jugozapadno od Budimpešte, kad je krenuo val otrovnog crvenog blata ubrzano tekući kroz nekoliko gradova i sela.
This all began when the retaining walls of a huge waste reservoir at the Ajkai Timfoldgyar aluminum refinery outside the small town of Ajka, 160km southwest of Budapest, collapsed on Monday, sending a tide of toxic red slurry racing through several towns and villages.
