Transcript ..... Residents in China's southwestern mega city of Chongqing have been puzzled by this strange sight this week.
These images of the Yangtze River, the longest in China, have been surfacing since Wednesday. This stretch of the river around Chongqing looks like it's been dyed blood red.

Locals suspect that sever pollution is the cause, but Chongqing's Environmental Protect Bureau has another explanation—sand. Official reports are saying that flooding upstream washed excess sand downstream, turning the river bright red.

The Bureau also made a point of saying they did not find any evidence of illegal sewage dumping, but netizens have been questioning the official announcement.

Investigations are ongoing.

  • I live on the upper Wind River in Wyoming... a very mountainous area surrounded by unique geological zones.

    When we get heavy rainfall in the mountains, the river will turn different colors, depending on the area that the rain fell in. If the rain falls to the north of us, the runoff flows through canyons that are composed of Bentonite clay and it will turn the river grey. If it falls to the west, the runoff will make the river look like chocolate milk. If it falls in the red rock badlands t More..

  • I've been in Chongqing for about 24 hours now. I must say I didn't notice this but the English language newspaper I bought doesn't say anything about this.
    It's probably either clay or algal.
    Polluting factories get hit with a made up clean up bill that usually bankrupt them. I doubt it's pollution...

    • @Rousing Sermon Wow, managed to fit Obama in here, huh.

      Why don't you either pipe down or take your blind-sighted, ignorant agenda into a discussion related to American politics instead of reaching out so far for it, wanker.

      Cheers

    • @yourposs I understand your sentiment.

      I was looking for a superlative, that goes beyond all others in representing a very unique type lying of fraud. Not just any lying fraud, but one so ridiculous and obvious that everyone can see.

      Where the speaker is uncaring about the audience, everyone knows its a lie, but the speaker doesn't care.

      Where the super-obvious is being so completely and fraudulently ignored, in a statement so ridiculous and easy to disprove. As can only be done due to so More..

    • @yourposs

      I'm not sure. But he couldn't possibly be a downgrade.

      Keep in mind I believe in smaller government. And reducing burden on small corporations.

      And having real-world experience. And not claiming to have two different birthplaces. The list goes on.

      When the engine is sputtering, back off on the governor. You don't make it bigger. Especially when you don't even understand engines.

      At least Romney has an excellent understanding of engines. And an easily proven history of More..

  • Not only have they had heavy rains, but upstream 300km (Left channel of river in image) is where they've had a bunch of 5.0 quakes and hill sides have tumbled down.
