March 29, 2007: Sewage Tsunami in Gaza
 
http://cellar.org/2007/gazasewage-bbc.jpg

This is from a BBC image gallery of a disaster in Gaza yesterday. It killed at least 5, injured at least 15, and left 70% of the village, of 3000 residents, buried in raw sewage.

It turns out to have been the result of dirt farming. I shit you not!

Quote:
The tragedy occurred when an earth embankment around one of the seven holding basins collapsed.

Some reports said the embankments were weakened by rain.

But Gaza City mayor Majid Abu Ramadan blamed the collapse on local residents digging dirt from the structures and selling it to building companies for US$70 a truckload.

The collapse of the sewage reservoir will force officials to divert the waste into the other six basins, putting those in danger as well.

The ones selling the dirt lived in the other 30% of the village.

Had five people died, fifteen people been injured and a town for the most part destroyed in the good ole USA i wonder how many of you jokers would still find amusement in it.

Undertoad 03-29-2007 01:35 PM
All of us?

HungLikeJesus 03-29-2007 01:36 PM
All but 5.

I don't find amusement in it. But I totally respect the right of other people to make light of an awful situation.

How do you think people keep going in a world where revolting and tragic things happen globally on a daily basis?

Dude with the beard and hat in the second picture has his mouth clamped damn tight there. :thepain:

This tragedy reminds me of robbing the pillars in coal mining. Stupid greed. Plain and simple.
