[00:05.43]Last month, a deadly accident took place at a gold mining operation in northern Romania.

[00:13.69]Cyanide poison accidentally overflowed 2 a dam and flowed into streams leading to two major rivers in Hungary and Yugoslavia.

[00:25.89]Millions of fish have died in the Tisza and Danube rivers.

[00:32.16]And drinking water in the area is not safe.

[00:36.52]International officials say the spill will cost millions of dollars and take many years to clean up.

[00:44.96]The accident happened at a gold mine in the Romanian town of Baia Mare,near the border with Hungary.

[00:53.79]The mine is jointly 3 owned by Romania and the Australian Esmeralda mining company.

[01:01.83]The cyanide spilled when heavy snow and rain caused a holding container at the mine to overflow 1.

[01:10.50]The poison entered the Szamos River in Romania, and flowed to the Tisza, Hungary's second longest river.

[01:20.04]From there, it moved across the Yugoslav border and entered the much larger Danube River.

[01:27.56]International experts say they believe about 100 tons of cyanide flowed into the Tisza.

[02:20.59]They have called the cyanide spill Europe's most serious environmental disaster since the nuclear accident at Chernobyl,Ukraine in 1986.

[02:33.63]The cyanide spill has led to a dispute among thethree countries.

[02:39.74]Hungary and Yugoslavia say Romania and the Australian mining company are responsible for the damage and should have to pay.

[02:51.13]But Romania says it will not pay because it also suffered damages.

[03:06.49]It has not promised aid for Yugoslavia, which is facing international restrictions 5.
