Chemicals went into the river, and now they have no clean water supply.

the guy in the picture almost looks happy, but thats pretty scary.

as bad as that sounds, it isn't as bad as some of the stuff that happened earlier. besides, china's water was never really that clean to begin with.

a few years back, health officials collected blood for a village's blood bank. to cut cost and effort, they threw all the blood together and then decanted into separate packets. they pretended during transfusions that the blood was completely safe. the entire village got hiv.

oh no! thats terrible....
The guy in the picture does look happy though

Wow....that sucks i would hate to live there...poor ppl

I have heard about it on the news.

It is predicted that the polluted water will flow into Russia along the streams and into the sea.

he happy because he has clean water. i mean...the water wasn't even THAT clean before the explosions..right..?

The chemicals made the river yellow right? I saw it in the Chinese newspaper my parents buy everyday.

Yea I think that extra yellowness made the water a lil too acidic for even countryside Chinese.

But seriously this is bad.

oh yes, its been in the news for a week now. a factory exploded in harbin. chinese officials are going to investigate this. and the water supply will be cut off till a few days later i think.

I noticed that too...
I hope no more people get poisoned. =(

maybe he's just happy to get clean water..?

that really is terrible though...

they got their water back today :D

^ oh that's great!

I hope nothing like this happens ever again.
