According to Na Wan, a resident of a small village in Cangnan, everything about the river that runs through his town in eastern China's Zhejiang province seemed perfectly normal early Thursday morning: "But then suddenly, within the space of a few minutes, the water started turning darker and eventually was completely red."
No one knows exactly what caused the river to run red, and locals say nothing like this has ever happened before. Experts from the Wenzhou Environmental Protection Bureau investigated the site and speculated it could be the result of dye company discharge. There is no such company in the area, but one environmentalist said that "We suspect that maybe somebody drove here to dump stuff."
