Please Stop Taking Selfies At This Toxic Ash Dump!
LatestTell me: Would you dunk your head in a toilet bowl just because the water is blue from one of those colored cleansing tablets? Probably…not…right? Then I can’t explain why residents from the Russian city of Novosibirsk are turning up in droves to take selfies next to a very blue, rather toxic artificial lake used as a dumping ground by a power company.
According to Bloomberg, people caught onto the “Siberian Maldives” after a local photographer posted a picture of a woman posing next to it. After that, so many people showed up that the Siberian Generating Company deployed guards on Friday to keep influencers away from its hazardous shores.
