A Modern Day Erin Brockovich

You read it right folks, Erin Brockovich, as in THE Erin Brockovich, no no no not Julia Roberts. There has been a sever case of tumors breaking out in a town that is about an hour and a half away from where I live. They're checking water/soil/etc. Turns out there was a plant there back in the late 70's early 80's that buried a bunch of toxic waste, and some of it may have leaked and polluted the water, causing tumors. It's like the movie set broke out and is recreating the same thing in a town nearby.

Don't believe me?

Read it for yourself:

Holy crap. It's not often that you hear about something like this.

Also, you do know that the movie is based on true events in which the real Erin Brockovich was involved yes? Of course you do :)
