The Waters of West Virginia

Hundreds head to W.Va. court over tainted water
Hundreds believe Virginia-based Massey Energy Co. and subsidiary Rawl Sales & Processing poisoned their water wells with 1.4 billion gallons of toxic coal slurry.

The company has denied wrongdoing, though residents say the proof flows from their faucets as red, orange, or black water.  

Maybe some company officials wouldn't mind chugging a few gallons.

They say the chemicals in slurry have left them and their children with developmental disabilities, cancers, and other maladies.
