What is the source for the comment that the EPA says this is the worst ever? I have searched for it and can't find it.

Are there any independant sources that say it is safe? You seem to imply that TVA and EPA are lying...

I would expect similar sensationalism from a supermarket tabloid. Agreed; this was a terrible event, but many of the statements in made in this video are simply not true.
