Wow. That picture is terrifying. Thanks for posting.
This is an unbelievably devastating event. I'm shocked that there hasn't been more coverage, and the coverage I've seen has had very little concern with the residents, the people themselves and how their homes and lives have been destroyed. Its totally outrageous. Here's a blog from some activist folks on the ground in TN: http://dirtycoaltva.blogspot.com/
"Clean Coal." ha.

Another awful picture here.
The NYTimes reports that the disaster is three times as big as originally reported.
