The Esztergom coal loader (Hungarian: Esztergomi szénrakodó) is a rusting relic located in the Danube River of Hungary.

Nearly 100 years old, this abandoned industrial structure once played a key role in Hungary’s coal distribution network.

Today it is a ramshackled hulk. A slowly disintegrating skeleton of concrete and rusted steel succumbing to time and the elements.

In news that should surprise absolutely no one, it turns out that deep sea mining is really, really bad for life on the seabed.

And this is just driving the vehicle, not extracting material, let alone something going wrong.

Acid mine drainage (pit lake), Broken Hills, Nevada. Chemicals that leach out of mine tailings result in high concentrations of acids in puddles, ponds, and if containment fails, streams and rivers. This is a tiny--but very poisonous--puddle. I have also seen gigantic pit lakes in Nevada. The old Anaconda Copper Mine in Yerington has a very large pit lake. It is an EPA Superfund site, that like so many others, just sits there.
