From Bad to Worse

Heat and smoke force back villagers who have come to check on an oil fire erupting from a leaking wellhead in Ogoniland. The wellhead had been spilling oil for a week, coating the ground around it before catching fire. The fire burned for more than two months before an oil company team could make arrangements to quell it. Fifty years of oil spills have turned the delta into one of the most polluted areas in the world.
