 Q-4: Why did it happen?   It all started on the 30th of Januray, 2000, on that day, a deadly from Sarsa wastepond near Baia Mare, (Northern Romanina, Goldmine) leaked into a nearby creek ( Lupus stream). So how did that deadly damage happen? It was a company named AURAL who mined for gold and used a chemical called 'Cyanide' for that job. When they didnt need the chemical anymore, they put all the cyanide into a wastepond. When all the cyanide went into the wastepond it rained badly which made the wastepond overflow. What made this company do this? So AURAL is an Australian company in Romania that stored all the cyanide and heavy metals, in the reservior. the company, AURAL, made this damage happen by not knowing it would cause such a huge damage by dumping all the cyanide chemical into the wastepond. Now Hungary wants to sie AURAL for that cause. Lawyers of Hungary are confident of getting $179 million payment from the part-Australia owned mining company who was blamed of this cyanide leak.
