30:16Now PlayingDid you know Atlantans were left without water or under a boil water advisory for nearly six days?
After a pipe burst in the city, many in Atlanta were left without safe drinking water. One of the failed pipes was installed in 1910 and the other in 1930 (!) The US Army Corps of Engineers arrived in the city Tuesday to help “develop a plan to assess and evaluate our aging infrastructure,” said Atlanta Mayor Dickens, who conveniently left town when the pipe burst to attend a fundraising event.
But why is this failing infrastructure only being addressed after this emergency?
We spoke with Max Alvarez of the Real News Network about how the disaster in Atlanta is related to the train derailment in East Palestine which he’s rigorously covered. After a train carrying 100,000 gallons of toxic chemicals derailed in the Ohio town, wastewater from cleanup spread for miles into the Appalachian foothills, contaminating drinking water. As we discuss, it's not just the cinematic plume of smoke that will affect residents in so-called sacrifice zones but the lasting impact that is really frightening.
It seems we’re all at the whim of corporate negligence mixed with government inaction.
