[quote=NPR]The mayor of Charleston, W.Va., says the company behind the chemical spill that essentially shut down his city for days, was run by "a small of group of renegades," who in his opinion knew there were problems with the tanks that leaked dangerous chemicals into the city's water supply.

"I'm not even sure they cared what happened to the public," Danny Jones told Melissa Block on Tuesday's edition of All Things Considered.

Jones said he knows some of the people in charge of Freedom Industries and he considers them "to be a little edgy."

As we've been reporting, hundreds of thousands of West Virginians haven't been able to use their tap water for drinking, washing or bathing since last week, when state inspectors found that a tank owned by Freedom Industries leaked a chemical used in a coal-washing process into the Elk River.[/quote]

I just can't get over the fact how much this sounds like a Batman comic plot.
