WOW
A BILLION GALLONS OF COAL SLUDGE!

KINGSTON, Tennessee (CNN) -- The head of the largest public power company in the nation has pledged to clean up the massive spill that has dumped more than a billion gallons of coal waste in central Tennessee.

In 2000, a sludge spill in Tennessee dumped 300 million gallons on Tennessee. There's a documentary about it and you can see the trailer here:
