China’s River Mysteriously Turns Red
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
A half-mile section of China's Yellow River turned red after an unknown substance was poured into it from a sewage pipe. Environmental protection officials were trying to determine whether the sewage was toxic. The incident in Lanzhou, a city of 2 million people in western Gansu province, follows a string of industrial accidents that have poisoned major rivers in China over the last year, forcing several cities to shut down their water systems.
