Rivers Are Running The Colour Of Blood And The Apocalypse Is Coming, Maybe

Rivers Are Running The Colour Of Blood And The Apocalypse Is Coming, Maybe

The end is nigh.

Bad news. Some mad shit could be about to go down. That is if the Bible's anything to go by.

A river in Russia has turned blood red and anybody who remembers the story of Moses will know that's the first of the ten plagues.

Other plagues that could be coming up include a plague of locusts, darkness that lasts for three days, and the death of every first-born child.

Bloody hell mate, you'd best get repenting.

The Independent has reported that an investigation has been launched by environmental authorities in Russia after a river in Siberia changed colour. The Daldykan River is near Norilsk, one of the most polluted cities in Russia.

That means the river is the colour of blood for one of two reasons: either waste from a nearby factory is running into the water and changing the colour, or God is punishing us for fucking up the environment.

As a sadist, who kinda wants the apocalypse to happen because it would be exciting, I'm hoping it's the latter to be honest.

A statement released by Sergey Donskoy, head of Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources, said preliminary information indicated a possible cause of the pollution was a 'breakthrough slurry pipeline' at a Norilsk Nikel plant.

David Chambers, the president of the Centre for Science in Public Participation and a mining expert, told The Verge: "That's a very typical colour for mine waste."

Nah mate, it's the fucking apocalypse. Why are you trying to cover it up?
