The reckless and insane behavior of the employees looks like cheap TV comedy. Using the break time to fish in ponds with toxic products until the water boils?

Using the break time to fish in ponds with toxic products until the water boils? And then eating the floating fish? And doing that in the same ponds again and again?
Wow
- hulitu 4y agoThose employees had a managenent. Ah sorry, i thought it is about Volkswagen /s
- mcv 4y agoHow did anyone allow residential zoning anywhere near that place? Until it's thoroughly cleaned, nobody should be allowed to live anywhere near that place. How was this not cleaned decades ago?
- elliekelly 4y agoThis is a particularly egregious example (and unusual because it involves DOE) but if you browse the US “Brownfields” Superfund sites[1] you’ll find all kinds of crazy and reckless behavior relating to land contamination. Most of the people carrying out the orders in the 50s, 60s, and 70s just didn’t know any better. But some of the people from the 80s and 90s who did know (or should have known) better just didn’t care. There’s one site in Montana called Yankee Doodle Tailings pond from an old (I think) copper mine and the “pond” is highly contaminated with heavy metals. Every once in a while the Montana Fish & Wildlife will frantically try to alert residents who hunt not to eat any $bird they might have killed recently because a mass die-off means the flock stopped at the “pond” and was poisoned.
