Hungarians have brace themselves after the Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, announced that the red sludge reservoir that burst earlier in the week is in danger of spilling more toxic waste after the Northern wall appeared to have heavy cracks on the surface.

The Hungarian Prime Minister had also said that the wall is “very likely” to collapse spilling more of the devastating sludge which has so far killed seven people and injured hundreds.

Many residents in the towns around the reservoir were evacuated in the early hours of Saturday and emergency services are working around the clock to try and lesson the possible damage which may be caused by the red sludge.

The flood which occurred on Monday after the corner of the metals plant reservoir collapsed, left dozens of towns devastated with the injured suffering severe burns.

Two bodies were found on Friday and is suspected of being two of three missing people after the disaster.

The bodies were found several kilometers from the town they lived at indicating the power of the red sludge.

The toxic red sludge had also entered several creeks and rivers nearby and had devastated the areas, though when it entered the Danube River, the second largest in Europe experts said that the pH level was under 9 which is considered safe in terms of pollution.

However environmentalists and green piece workers have said that the amount of heavy metal contents in the red sludge is very high and can still cause biological damage.

AP have also gave a striking example of the size of the reservoir after comparing the disaster to the devastating BP oil spill at the Gulf of Mexico. A total of 757 million liters of oil had spilled into the Gulf in the space of a few months where as almost 700 million liters were spilled from the reservoir on Monday within an hour.

A person is still missing and some of the injured are in critical condition.
