at Jiamusi, in China's northeast Heilongjiang province Sunday, Dec. 4,
2005. A water plant in Jiamusi, a city of about 480,000 people, was shut
down Friday, as China's chief environmental regulator resigned, taking the
blame for a chemical spill into the Songhua River which has forced five
Chinese cities to stop water supply. The slick of toxic benzene is
expected to arrive in Jiamusi Tuesday. [AP]
