A hundred and forty million people world-wide in danger of arsenical poisoning from water...just another factor which this time adds a bit of variety on the list of threats of doom and destruction.

Not to get too much against certain folks here...but one thing I find oddly missing from the article is the fact that The US army corp of engineers drilled many, if not most of these wells that are contaminated in arsenic around the world. They just never bothered to do any testing of the water...they drilled and went off to the next site without any regard for the water safety they left behind.

Smack on OT.
The army corp.of engineer's.In a word inept.Worked and repaired along side them on a few project's.Don't think I'd hire from their employment pool.We went by code and those idiot's followed their ego's.
Sat with guy's who inspected their work,most were told what their job was.Nothing according to Hoyle.Just get the job done and make it look like you are the most productive crew in the corp.
There will be many a tragedy to follow and you won't see any accountability. Well's in remote area's is just the beginning.Sorry I'm wrong on that,the levy's in New Orlean's is the beginning.
Daddio.
