The Formosa Steel Plant Disaster | Heinous History | 2016

In the spring of 2016, the calm waters of Central Vietnam’s Hatin Province transformed into a scene of ecological devastation, with thousands of fish washing ashore belly-up. But what first appeared to be a seasonal fluke quickly escalated into a national crisis as the toxic tide spread across four provinces, poisoning the food chain and even claiming the lives of seasoned divers. Investigations would uncover severe lapses in safety protocols at a massive steel plant in the area, enabling lethal doses of chemicals to be dumped directly into the sea. But placing accountability proves to be difficult, as the issue is mired behind politics and industrial interests; ultimately resulting in an environmental crisis that may take decades to fully recover.
