I can't imagine how people come to the conclusion it is a great idea to dump whatever they want in a river. How is it that people like Native Americans knew they must keep the rivers and watersheds clean yet "civilized" people do such uncivil horrid acts to our natural resources? This is why I mourn on Columbus Day. This was not the first time that the river had caught on fire. Fires occurred on the Cuyahoga River in 1868, 1883, 1887, 1912, 1922, 1936, 1941, 1948, and in 1952. The 1952 fire caused over 1.5 million dollars in damage. On August 1, 1969, Time magazine reported on the fire and on the condition of the Cuyahoga River. The magazine stated, Some River! Chocolate-brown, oily, bubbling with subsurface gases, it oozes rather than flows. "Anyone who falls into the Cuyahoga does not drown," Cleveland's citizens joke grimly. "He decays". . . The Federal Water Pollution Control Administration dryly notes: "The lower Cuyahoga has no visible signs of life, not even low forms such as leeches and sludge worms that usually thrive on wastes." It is also -- literally -- a fire hazard. This is a a pretty crazy story. I can’t imagine how people come to the conclusion it is a great idea to dump whatever they want in a river.
