Toxic red sludge reaches the Danube River (AP)

A Hungarian soldier, wearing protective gear, cleans a yard flooded by toxic mud in Devecser, Hungary, Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010. The toxic red sludge that inundated three Hungarian villages reached Europe's mighty Danube River on Thursday but no immediate damage was evident, Hungary's rescue operations agency said. The European Union and environmental officials had feared an environmental catastrophe affecting half a dozen nations if the red sludge, a waste product of making aluminum, contaminated Europe's second-longest river after bursting out of a factory's reservoir.

Monitors took samples every few hour to measure damage from the toxic spill and emergency officials declared one Hungarian tributary dead.
