Red sludge only latest Hungarian calamity (AP)

Footsteps pick their way through the toxic red sludge which covers a yard in Devecser, Hungary, Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010.  The population of the neighboring town of Kolontar was evacuated early this morning, and Devecser with a population of 5,300 is also in the likely path of a new sludge deluge. Authorities asked residents to put their most essential belongings into a single bag and prepare for possible evacuation.
