    Oh my lord that past part about the amount of sewage…. How in the world was this missed? How on earth is that even possible ? This is such gross negligence it’s unreal. Imagine swimming in what was essentially sewage, with such a high concentration too no les.

      It wasn’t missed. Iirc they knew about it and were warned about it. They just decided not to do anything and then pretend to be surprised when something bad happened.

        Dealing with the fallout was most likely much cheaper than canceling the event.
