bowl sunday, all day monday, all day tuesday. they couldn't figure out how to stop the flow of these thousands of tons of toxic sludge into the river. they couldn't stop it. it was not that they couldn't clean up what they had already dumped into the river, they'd barely even started that now. they couldn't stop the spill from continuing for days. they couldn't figure out how to stop it. you want to know how they actually finally stopped it? the spill was of a pipe that flowed under a big pit of coal ash. here's the pipe. all the coal ash is on top of it, right? they couldn't get into the coal ash to go fix the pipe. hey, you know, it's really toxic stuff. we don't want to be touching that. so they built themselves a platform over the coal ash pit so they could sort of stage themselves on that platform and work from that platform to get at the pipe. you want to know how they finally stopped the pipe from leaking? a week into the spill? the platform that they built collapsed. and, hey, look, that's what did it.
