Lapindo disaster updates: Off to the sea!
Desperate with the unstoppable hot mudflow from Lapindo Brantas Inc's drilling well and the incoming raining season that would trigger heavy floods, local administration of Sidoarjo plans to divert parts of the mudflow to Madura Strait through Porong River.
Tempointeraktif.com quoted Sidoarjo regent Win Hendarso on Wednesday saying he would immediately ask the permission from East Java governor and The ministry of environmental affairs for the mud offloading to Madura Strait.

There are 1,000 of containers transported every day in that turnpike. This is the tangible cost. You may add on the intangible of late delivery. This is an economic disaster for the area that will discount the national GDP.
Early this week, Supreme Court Chairman Bagir Manan made a controversial statement saying government need not find the suspects in the disaster. Simply pay the compensation and case closed. As the gatekeeper of people who want to find an ultimate justice, Mr Manan shouldn't say that except he's just a...
