The red sludge reservoir in Hungary that burst last week is “unsalvageable” because of its cracked walls, said Zoltan Illes, a state secretary for the environment, according to MTI news service.
“The tragedy may occur within a day or within a month,” Illes said, MTI reported. Authorities are building a dike through a nearby village to prevent the sludge from spreading after a possible burst, he said, according to the Budapest-based news service.
