What’s Lurking in the Potomac? Massive Sewage Spill Sparks Health Fears
Well, here we are—just when you thought D.C. politics was as messy as it could get, along comes the Potomac to say, “Hold my beer.” I mean, really, when was the last time 240 million gallons of anything made the news, let alone raw human waste threatening to turn a major river into, well, a national disaster zone? It’s like Mother Nature just rage-quit on city plumbing. As someone obsessed with finding the twist in every headline (and squeezing out that last ounce of SEO juice), I can’t help but wonder: if the nation’s capital can’t keep its rivers clean, are we all one clogged toilet away from environmental chaos? But hey, let’s not flush away hope just yet—there are plenty of opinions floating around about what happens next. You want to dive deeper into this literal crapstorm? LEARN MORE.
The Potomac River, a waterway that winds through the nation’s capital, is in the midst of an ecological crisis after one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history, with over 240 million gallons of raw human waste threatening the health of the river and the safety of those who depend on it. What do you think?
