Last Thursday and Friday I was with a camera crew in Devecser and Kolontar, the two of the most Aluschlamm disaster affected communities.
Monday was The resultant report in the ORF-magazine "issue" and is available here in the TV Thek.
These are some photos I took in Hungary:
What seems like the idyllic image, pure, landfills, buried in the 70 years since those million tonnes of red mud and were covered with mud. In the background the "Alustadt" Ajka.
One of the most violent poisons in Aluschlamm is sodium hydroxide, needed to separate the red mud from the raw aluminum chemically. First, the earth is removed, then applied to neutralize the highly corrosive sodium hydroxide plaster on the floor.
children have completely disappeared from the cityscape, the schools closed, the playgrounds deserted. And the red mud is ideal for coloring of trees.

The rendering is over - for that day.
