AP PHOTOS: Ducks Stained Blue in Brazil
- A truck accident spilled blue dye into Lago de las Tulipas near São Paulo, Brazil, turning the lake electric blue two days ago.
- The spill happened when three of five tanks fell onto the road and two rolled into the lake, releasing 3,000 liters of dye containing acetic acid.
- The sudden dye release changed the water chemistry, killed many fish immediately, stained birds blue, and alarmed conservationists and local officials.
- Colonel João Gimenez said, "Let's just say it's a situation we can contain," and officials estimate the water may lose its blue color within a week.
- Authorities blocked access around the lake and ongoing restoration efforts aim to prevent future spills by improving truck safety and training in Jundiaí.
