The Battle of Verdun lasted for 303 days and killed 70,000 soldiers per month.
That alone is staggering.

Interesting but not surprising. We've got places like this all over Southeast Asia

Still, look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima today. It seems that radioactive waste would be even harder to clean up than toxic waste. It may be that the French need to follow the Japanese model which was based on individual effort inasmuch as government resources were overtaxed or nonexistent. Interestingly, the same could be said of American disasters such as the destruction of San Francisco and Galveston by natural disaster. There was no FEMA in those days and the people didn't just loiter waiting for someone to do the job.
