The Red Monster

Images of a town engulfed by toxic sludge, one year later.

OCTOBER 3, 2011

On Oct. 4th, 2010, a reservoir wall in Hungary collapsed, flooding nearby towns with 184 million gallons of red, toxic waste from an aluminum production plant. The chemical wave killed 10 people and indiscriminately turned everything -- and everyone -- red. The year since that fateful day has been marked by the resilience of residents and a monumental cleanup process, as the people of an unsuspecting town worked to rid themselves of a Martian-red existence full of stained reminders of a environmental catastrophe.
