River Water Turns ‘Bloody’ in China Chongqing

front

Previously, we have a ‘milky’ river in Wenzhou city and now, a river in Chongqing, a major city located at Southwest China, has been ‘bloody’ polluted. Many tourists and local residents found the color of Yangtze River became unusually red. The local environmental protection department told the press that the river in Chongqing city district area is indeed redder than usual. After investigation, there were no illegal sewage dumping found around the coastal area. So the initially speculation of the cause was due to river sand brought from upstream during flood season. Few more pictures after the break. The ‘bloody’ river looks really terrifying …

As the Daily Mail notes: “According to chapter 16, verse 4 of the Bible’s book of Revelations, one of the signs that Armageddon is near will be an angel pouring a bowl into the rivers, turning them into blood.”
