END TIME? White river turns Red!

UPDATED: 10:14 AM EDT 09.08.16
A Russian river located by the Arctic town of
Norilsk turned bright red Tuesday, looking more
like an enormous blood vessel than a body of
water.
Stunned residents shared photos online of the
bizarre scene at Daldykan River.
Authorities are trying to determine why the river
changed colors and are evaluating possible
environmental damages.
The water may have reddened due to discharge
from "an unidentified chemical" from the nearby
Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant, Russia's Ministry
of Natural Resources and Environment said in a
statement Wednesday. If a pipeline broke,
contaminants could have leaked into the river,
the ministry added.
The plant is owned by Norilsk Nickel, the world's
largest nickel producer.
The company has so far denied assertions that
the pollution was caused by discharge from its
plant. Norilsk Nickel said it will continue to
monitor the environmental situation in the area
and reduce production at the plant while tests
are being conducted, Russian state news agency
RIA Novosti reported.
Residents told Krasnews, a local newspaper, that
it's not the first time that the Daldykan River has
turned red, but did not provide further details.
The river isn't connected to the public water
supply and the incident doesn't pose an
immediate threat to the residents' well-being, the
Norlisk city administration told state news
agency Sputnik.
As the northernmost city in Siberia, Norilsk is a
resource-rich area with frigid temperatures that
can fall below minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit. The
area is near the world's largest deposits of
nickel, copper and palladium. As a result, it
attracts the mining industry.
Norilsk is known for its heavy pollution, which is
often considered the worst in Russia.
