Doomed
Like a black hole of the earth, I think this the worst calamity ever in the world history (well, considering it is caused due to human greed, negligence, lack of education, triggering natural diseaster). And where else but in Indonesia, that' it's happening. Right next door as we speak.
The "toxic mud volcano" pours out some 165,000 cubic yards of mud every day -- enough to cover a football field about 75 feet deep.
And it shows no signs of stopping.

Naturally, the sheer volume of the mud can swallow the whole Singapore in a little more than 2 months.
(At where its started, mud's been spewing for 7 months and still going.)
Can Singapore use the mud for reclamation? Turn toxic into non toxic and create more land before it is engulfed?
