the home of venus the gateway her to the grand imperial truly the torch was close coromandel you can to listen to chill chill as legitimate civility to go and clear reticence the colonel was her child is used to retreat. piece of stories at least seven people have been killed and injured by thank you received forces at the time can protesters in cairo's tahrir square demonstration since friday against a miniature room these are live pictures from the heart of a church council as you can see crowds defying people to stand and continue that process because the night a week before the introductions the first company out from misrata hosni mubarak. and other stories of stock and over to see were in government of the dead my friend by the arab league to underfund and six times better than assad as defiant in the face of growing international pressure. until months of antique and print process in america three thousand strong emotions over the last hundreds of arrests around

the heavy heart that makes us. special forces out. we're right at the eight hundred foot elevation level right here and a lot of the mine just dirt are coming up right at a hundred foot. i. mean you can tell that when the red water mixes with the clear water that's the difference. although this looks clear it's still got a lot of metals in the because it's just charging out of the. sides of the mine because the minerals women are submerged beneath the water and it's isolated from oxygen oxygen to. their back when they're first growing up there was a lot of options available in the mines. and that was causing oxidation of the mantle which incur creates

a screw so for most of your castle you have torque cream which starts up in kansas runs through the mining belt becomes contaminated at douthat which is just south of pitcher and then runs on the east side of commerce runs through the center of miami only into new show river. on instagram like let's just say it's been doing that since they are nothing but orange yucky smelly container. that is watershed has been clocking five million gallons a day since there have been clocks. and if water rolls into the mines or slides off a chap pilot flows out from the underground it's real bad news. isaac newton says the reaction to the mining is a life time polluted water. this my system swallows any ground water hole and

coughs up one's blood. in a look at these problems and say this has been here for a long time. it's not just twenty five years of superfund it's it's since money. and we all benefited from that money either directly or indirectly. it was a good thing for the united states but this is the legacy we have kind of an obligation to fix. if you drive through picher right now and drive down doubtful road nothing's changed nothing is really is that they pull this all the m.p.l. list it's a disgrace and it's sad but no one has done anything about the water the air. well i'm ashamed right now no protection agency the bureau of indian affairs with the form of the interior because they've

spent all this time talking to us telling us you know what they think we want to hear but if you drive through picher drive down doubtful road it looks the same as when they turned off the parts of the walk. no one cares about the people that live there this is not a safe place to live it's a good place there's good people here but it's not fit there been whispers about buying this place out since it was named the superfund in eighty three i mean horrible water all of this mine waste direct danger to children they couldn't get the help they needed should have been easier to put a buyout together whether it's a dioxin scare they want to build a lake or highway somewhere buyouts happen all the time when human health dangers here seem to qualify plus our progress and said an ace in the hole oklahoma senior senator jim inhofe steered the environmental and public works committee in the

senate this committee over seas and directs the e.p.a. and inhofe oversaw the committee as far as environmental buyout money goes in off was the faucet when you have a place like this in your home state nurturing the kind of committee that can actually help people and you refuse well we could also know what he was cooking the problem was that in office a soldier industry back is in house brother even used to work for the insurance agency owned by the mining companies inhofe is in deep with polluters so he can't just order a buyout because that would prove this land's not fit for people and if it's not fit and someone's got to pay for what got done and they can get expensive so they just pay in hard to make this buyout talk disappear and the citizens that stay but to prove that he was working for auto mechanic folks he put together an eighteen million dollar cleanup plan to stand in for a buyout made everyone wait three years while they pulled it together. he was going

to move all the check they were in the math on the plan the same day it was released if you were in fifty trucks a day all day you would take forty years just to move the check forty years doing the jag would cost two hundred twenty five million not eighteen. complete by i was estimated at fifty me and everyone knows inhofe not much of a science man or could it be that man made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the american people i believe he is but it turned out he wasn't a math guy either but then came news that not even enough can span if you go away from. your new movies your. was always a company you need to sit. in on your surprised it. just i will fill you know they looked daughter and i looked at law and all the

trouble is they forgot to look at subsidence for us which is of course the undermining it goes along with hard rock mining you know it turns out that the earliest significant undermined which really shouldn't be a surprise to anybody since they took out i don't know two hundred fifty million tons of or maybe more you know this underground mining was done sometimes clear up the war late so war until they saw a tree roots when you have a several hundred foot mine room that's going on with the surface guess what it's going to collapse on these days and that land that you're seeing out there it's all undermined concrete sure and card and more people are living they could wake up one day in their house complete collapse in the morning. they didn't care what they've done to the city pitcher just segment killers.

think they can. oh medium size cave in now this is mania. this is on par with why it's the biggest cave in the area with their field right here that's probably almost no one hundred fifty foot deeper than what the water is right now. but i think there is a public policy issue here. if you can account for all the risk environmental side should be in charge well i've been around these my whole life and i'm still scared i mean if you. just know forgiveness if anything happens around me. if you start going down that's it your history. it sounds crazy but those holes are actually a blessing as they can afford to move everyone out and often already pounded his

gavel that the current problems weren't bad enough so things had to get worse to get things done several areas collapse that summer and off finally agreed to a study to prove the extent of the undermining. not that we need to improve. another study felt exhausting you know i felt tired to have to prove that the land was actually undermined and more holes were coming but it was a material chance to get a buyout so what do you feel is this two million dollars that you can't ignore the debt or what the data shows in regards to the severity of the underground money that was not up here you cannot dispute it in any way as we were able to get political support to evaluate their risk when it became obvious that you could should lift their it's best for in the

long room because we're going to worry about any more kids being raised in this environment. you know when we've got to put an end up what we are doing is we are going and finding comparables outside the project area. and he didn't keep in mind superfund site is a bigger area and the project area project area is that area that i told you about the forty's were a mile area that was in that subsidence team study they're finding properties outside that area and then giving them comparable value for their property the trust has tried to make some provisions to make sure that everybody gets a minimal decent level of housing so in other words if you live in a in some standard housing we don't want to give you just enough money to go live in some senior housing on my own or somewhere else people get in a car as well and i don't care if you live in a five hundred thousand dollars house in appraisal and you know i really thought my house was worth more than you know and so what i keep telling people is be realistic in reality if you took that house in the condition that it's in take

it and stick it in my oklahoma good sign on the front yard how much do you really think you're going to get for that house kind of interesting and so busy trying to do the appraisal issue those kind of things to get people help that are very firm and that's art and. like with any appraisal that everybody's happy with their friends but. it's such it's a chance for these people that they really would never have otherwise i might stay braced for my life fast here because that i feel like i got maybe a year or two years you know i did not even i had said to god but your side got it . right i hate to move you know you stuff on the walls and take cheers so my stuff and it's good to have to get rid of . different things that's about it would be nice to have

a nice house you know but i'm not able to take care of her and if they hoarded now you know so. yeah they much when it's on. and it's got to be hard leaving home practically being made to leave these places are just on their health and their children so it's one of the property values but it's still home and once the bio reaches critical mass there won't be any more fire department anymore polies anymore like tricity or water stores don't just be paved country lined with rusted street signs and when you go through all that and are told the one place you can't live is home you deserve a by a process that is dignified and clean so the trust was appointed to represent the citizens during the buyout process here they carry out orders from the federal government and all appraisal issues and cut checks for the homes and i'm just making

a little short statement i was offered fifteen dollars by square foot for my business and there's no way that you can deal and many stories i know it's not gigantic it's just already built. and that it is nice i'm not the only people look at it we're staying in for my health and for the base package the gun shop the house the land three lots eighty thousand dollars and there's no way you go to my room and replace this for eighty thousand dollars is impossible. hundred two thousand the fair yes and i don't think i can actually go to my man replace it for a hundred. and i went through all of the trying to find out why and they said well that's just what we have heard today that appraiser has been in business for twenty five years they should know what they're doing live below the belt the appraisal company cinnabar services out of tolls is doing shoddy work and the trust is

painted one point eight million dollars to do shoddy work they're rude to the people they have consistencies and the trust will not hold them accountable. to listen only so you know i i i listened to what you guys this. we hear people want to say this is not like the first by well we did the same things we put something out for bid we hired a contractor we have gone and and gotten their appraisals and we've had that were you i mean and in all honesty the values are higher in this buyout than they were in the first and what do you see in the news record here's today's news record trust the fans buy out approach the trust is circling the wagons you know the truth is supposed to take care of these people and they're not doing how they're going to be people who feel like they were do more yes what i can do it

sure is that there's been no conspiracy on the part of anyone to get higher values for certain people now let me finish. but there is is a lot of innuendo and accusation and yet there is no proof. ok we're coming up on details brother this is a game of hard. gray have this lab sliding hundred fifteen thousand that house although none of them are very palatable probably at least eighty years . ok this house on the left longs to messy and say maybe it's and i've been offered seventy thousand cinnabar says there is something wrong with the beats appraisal so as you use a trance why did you not tell me we did we actually you're probably been reading.

but you didn't raise that as it mean that we get you just because we get worse and i raise it over there standing room only to be to praise also listening to the same and. i don't what it means we've got three new property is it significant that you go. lol. market like you mean tell me you didn't find anything wrong. thank you. the appraisers probably have a tough with this town there are some poor people here there are some bad looking homes and i'm sure those create some challenges you know missing sammy's house is the same size as the hearts missing sami's is much newer and even if you're blind and a little crazy and think these homes are in similar condition and they can bedroom isn't a bedroom if it's not close to a bathroom there's still a forty five thousand dollar difference in a town where the average home has to be

a grant that's almost the cost of a whole other house this is the kind of appraisal work the trust has behind it and they said mrs home on her couch that's a maybe we gave the hearts too much i mean we made a mistake before my own and in the same breath the thing missing sandy got a good run their own younger if you're it's not a hollywood story and where does this leave those who've already worked a lifetime and of course an ok i'll pay back a chapter eleven and ninety two years old. and i say i did then it. jackie bird see what she called me the other day she's so worried about movement she doesn't want she got no neighbors run across the street so she's god and she don't know about her house since they offered her two hundred two thousand on it i think and she said tell me so i don't know if i should see wonder.

they offered eighty four years young jackie busy twenty two thousand dollars for her home it doesn't matter what her home is like or can you move on that. she says gentleman the purpose of this letter is to explain why i do not have a bill of sale when i was twenty one i bought my home in picher oklahoma in the fall of one thousand forty three from doing fields for three hundred seventy five dollars i've lived here for almost sixty three years and now almost eighty four years old and have lived in the neighborhood seventy seven years longer as far as i know than anyone now living or dead it is with much regret that i will have to leave my home at this late time in my life and i cannot stay without police protection sewer service utilities and safe neighbors please let me be the last to go.

how do you expect an eighty year old woman who's live in their house for sixty years who is on a fixed income. how do you expect her to move out of the superfund site on twenty thousand dollars an hour and you know it's easy for outsiders coming in look at nasa oh my gosh a house in worth five thousand dollars that's right but that's at ladies' home that's all she has and now you're going to take it away from her and now you've got to make her get in bed to get out of here then the funny thing is we can come in here and stream seventy thousand dollars to dig up her yard but we can't give her enough money to be about a town. he. or her is what environmental problems look like. they look like people problems environmental problems are people problems as long as gravity still holds here.

they aren't separate if you're over here. and these folks have been stolen from their land rate the names drug through the mud but they are tough as hell. break everything else you can grab at these people ain't breaking on your science on your say so on your legislation of the month hell yes they get red headed madly when things seem counterfeit what else do you have and there ain't much history word or so and you're back. one hundred years later they're still here still fighting for their health and their cool spot of their. weather is fair weather elaine they are going. this will not be home any more. than a hundred years after the first pickaxe struck oklahoma go they're handing this place back to the crop our appreciate your here's the worst superfund site in the country. can't prove

who has even started. who don't just because the buyouts go on doesn't need to go over this is all they can buy these people out which is their what they're going to do but the tribes going to be here forever because the government's not going to give them any more land and you can see that with all this mine why it's covering my own scape it's really not news in the sixty's eagle poster was a person for to get out of their leases you know into the movie they also offered to put. american nuns in the department of interior the night stating that they were caught all lands were no longer any good for anything they were rooting for agriculture or you know the purpose that the only economic guru to

left to their lands was the gravel on the surface and they could sell their ground when they start realizing that chad had heavy metal that it was was environmentally hazardous part of inferior realize that that's a liability. since they manage the asset well the tribe if they allowed that could be sold and they would incur liability because if this chat were sold and put somewhere else that place might become a super fund site they're lucky there's so little left today there's no telling what the epidemic would look like if there were five times as much lead poaching their young polluting creeks making ground tremble but eighty years later there's it's seventy five million times eighty years of kids passing through struggling in school. here gone this chad didn't just sort of the kids who tested on. that was here in mountains before anyone was running test. so not only is the chad left on

the indian lease where the tribal member can't use the land then they found out they couldn't sell it either so their land became useless as a result there's chads and just sitting here for eighty nine hundred years you know we're being restricted for more sales but the money indians are not this check causes lead poisoning that's not an opinion it ruins this very land that was given to the quapaw to replace what they gave up in the b i a made sure this chad stayed right here a b.a. said these are the people we're going to believe because of this waste and what is now so clear about this function is that damaging the land is not a separate act from damaging a culture. the whole reason the government gave the tribe

just one hand was to replace the land where they came from you know that the quad core tried occupied most of what is now arkansas. you know and i feel bad for the people that are living over in picher. i feel bad that they're going to have to move i feel bad that they are going to have to be relocated but you want corporals didn't want leave or council. so. it's giving bad out here. but not seeing hardly any birds squirrels you know. ducks geese you know i don't know what's going on here this is this is like rachel carson's nightmare today you know we're having a silent throwaway here and you know where are the birds were the wall live. just

don't see this is really unusual i've never been on this river and seen it you can even hear a bird chirping you know. i think the worst story would have to be. so we're story would have to pick the kids we let slip through the cracks.

the kids. didn't get help early on. because if you look back. through what can schools history and if you talk to families. those problems are here and your kids. and we didn't know. hundreds of towns and cities have diminished even died when industry pulls up stakes but these downs in oklahoma began to die because industry arrived way back when it would have been impossible to know the dimension of destruction they'd be left with or who would be hurt by back then jobs trumped everything maybe they still do back then they had no concept of the future but now we are the

heirs of our grandparents a mess and here we are about to shoot the porch light out on this town. i mean more times can we strike lead or uranium for oil before there's no more country.
