Director of Hungarian aluminum company arrested for toxic waste spill!
"The director of the Hungarian company responsible for the toxic waste that flooded villages last week has been arrested as authorities race to finish an emergency dam to hold back a threatened second spill.

At least seven people died and one is missing after the sludge, a by-product of aluminium production, leaked from burst banks of a 10-hectare industrial reservoir last Monday..."

Gosh darned socialists, trying to stifle business and hostile to entrepreneurs. Where's Joe Barton of Texas when Hungary needs him?
