A green liquid was found oozing onto Interstate 696 in the Detroit suburb of Madison Heights Friday, causing authorities to block off portions of the highway and call in federal agencies to investigate.
By Saturday, it was discovered that the mysterious liquid was the chemical hexavalent chromium and was leaking from a local business, Michigan State Police said on Twitter. Hexavalent chromium is usually produced during industrial processes like plating and is known to cause cancer, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The chemical is harmful to the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes.
I want to taste it
the building nut
Hudo in žalostno!
Weird that you won’t name the local business.
All jokes aside, they knew this old POS was dumping for years before the place shut down. The older generations need to be taught respect. There are THOUSANDS of sites in Michigan like this that aren't getting taken care of because they have worked the system for decades.

Great
No need to worry that’s just Flint’s water🤣🤣
Who gives a shit?!?!? It’s Detroit
Detroit has had Democratic mayors since 1962. WhenDemocratsRule
Sure that wasn’t oozing out of the White House! The toilets were set to use more water for flushing!
GhostBusters 3 coming out right on time.

Detroit mayor is a liberal
Imagine the undetected...?

RashidaTlaib RepRashida RepSlotkin ElissaSlotkin Slotkin and Tlaib’s hometown. Maybe instead of prancing around drunk on partisan impeachment they should have worried about poison green slime oozing into the streets. Let’s hope area voters make better choices in 2020.
Let me guess.... This is Trump’s fault?
Spokesman for the company were quoted as saying: 'Oh God! Oh God!' '
Dems next move: Ban all green cancer causing slime. See. All fixed
The world is ending lmao
Do the people responsible have to take shots of it now? I think we all want to see that.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😔😔😔😔😔
Same chemical in the Brockovich case.
Flint water main break
I'm to late, but to anyone whom references anything 'Ghost Busters' in this tweet. You're my kind of people 😂☝️
Wtf i HOPE they fix it 😥
Detroit used to be the wealthiest city on the planet, and it was once a blessing to live in for residents. Now there is proof that the city itself is urinating literal cancer. They need to restart their infrastructure.
For a moment I thought I was reading about celtic park!
WTF
Let me guess Trump did it?
Was that business Ford Field
JP3TN ok
Come on cnn Madison Heights is not Detroit. Not even fucking close
What the 🤬?

Inside job.
Great!
Wait have Trump been to Detroit lately?
Only in the D baby?!
Nature is the most valuable asset of mankind, and it cannot be treated without caution. Hazardous substances for human health must be disposed of under the strictest standards.
US is helping terrorism in Turkey.
When you hire exclusively people with flu.
United States, Turkey and Israel do not seek to eliminate terrorism.
When your givernment is anti regulation and pro business to the detriment of the American people, you get green, cancer causing slime.
Probably caused by AGW.
People be safe in Detroit this smells like Flint
Probably deregulized by the Trump crime syndicate.
Ghostbusters
Poor Detroit can't catch a break
Could be ammonia. Gotta be more specific
Say what
Oooooh Pretty Good! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Is that the Green slime that killed that dude in Robo-Cop?
EPA
“Local business”...
That's the chemical you used to kill our one and only King Bob Marley 😣😣
This is what happens on the 16th flush.
Well, so much for THAT mystery. And here I thought we were in an early scene in a Ghostbusters movie...
🤦🏻♂️😡
Umm wtf
Slimer!
Isn't this the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles origin story?
What else is lurking beneath Old Detroit?
I was thinking the blob..guess I'm old
What political party has been running Detroit and Flint for the past half century?
What the heck!!! Take care of Michigan!! Flint doesn’t have clean water and list of other things. What the HECK!!!!! They need some LOVE!!!!
The blues brothers-
Must be from if it’s cancer causing
Like Adam Schiff
Fuck
Same thing was found oozing from GOPLeader’s head today.
Why was there so much of it at a business?
Slimer was in Detorit, What the he** is teenage mutant ninja turtles ?
Get some turtles and a rat!
Or you mean a teenage mutant ninja turtle causing chemical
Get your grinch!
Who want to clean it up. Let me put it this way. Who wants to catch cancer. That's gloves and masks guys
That would be the worst way to catch a super power. Seriously thow stay back
But let's let our government keep removing EPA regulations so businesses can keep poisoning Americans! So much winning...
TheObamaphile The utter destruction of EPA and needed regulations...No Western Nation as Civilized as the USA is suffering from these Nasty Crap...Guess who we've become...China, Russia, 3rd world Nations & Nations w/o Democratic Governments. How shameful.
In order for this ooze to be cancerous does it have to be inhaled, touched or ingested and are the first responders or anyone else that came in contact with this substance in danger of getting sick immediately or at a late date, or unknown?
Yum.
And this business should be fined heavily and possibly shutdown if an investigation determines negligence. This is harmful to the community and environment.
What's this STUFF store in a unprotective building
I wonder with EPA cuts put in place by Donald Trump Administration that this is seen as OK, and let it wash away. Even through the local HAZMAT team probably still showed up. (And what is going on in that basement?)
gosh I'm confused because those business folk said we could trust them to do the right thing and they didnt need no regulations
PRDiva91 A cancerous green slime? What was senatemajldr Mitch McConnell doing in Detroit?
Demorats pus foam..
What's the degree ratio from New Zealand, temp, time frame, speed limit and pull those number together to find the next location so nothing bad happens, algorithms..
Only in Detroit smh lol 💯🤦♂️😂
Local business? Who controls them?
Horrifying
It was determined the local business was a CNN field office storing several 50 gallon drums of CNN’s lies that ultimately corroded the containers and caused the leak.
Hell yeah deregulation!!!
Whoa, whoa, whoa... CNN is not claiming this cancerous green slime didn’t originate from Trump Tower all the way in New York City?
Someone better call ghost busters!!!
So, it's not radioactive waste that gives you superpowers? 😭
Let’s not question why a local business operating out of a basement just has a ton of cancer causing goo.
HenryLovesYou
Wonderful that’s what we need more of cancer causing green goo way to go world
It’s perfectly legal in the Trump era.
On the bright side, Detroit will have an influx of super heroes soon...
Trump administration says there’s nothing to see here
Ah...the labor union haven of Detroit.
I'd keep an eye on any turtles or rats that have come in contact with the slime.
No doubt Trumps fault
Surprise
Well it's all going to crap.
😳wtf
I’m surprised CNN even reported on this. Your journalism stinks
Vão culpar otrump tbm Ou o prefeito e governador tem algo a responder por isto
It’s Trump
Detroit sounds like it sucks
Criminal charges against the business owner?
Welcome to Detroit.
Don’t worry people!!! It’s just the runoff from Flint!!!
Republicans have been in charge of environmental laws ,regulation and inspection for decades - hell they even poisoned and entire town and it children with leaded water
Ghostbusters Ectoplasm!!!
🤯🤯🤯
DaveandChuck

We've found Trump!
Here we go again.
It’s just Nick Cannon’s remains rip
Hope it didn't reach the groundwater table.
CNN’s soul?
Was it water from Flint?
Who you gonna call..?
“And the walls begin to ooze green slime!?!?”
Yikes.
For Detroit, that's considered a neighborhood improvement project
Come on MAGA’s, remind me how we are winning with the Trump administration!
A great science fiction movie, but, unfortunately true...
Detroit has it all man.
Probably intended for the water supply.
Most Detroit thing ever.
California labels kittens as 'cancer causing'.
Merry Christmas Detroit! Green, cancer causing, slime. Perfect.
Deregulation at its best...thank you Donald!!😒 Vote2020
Right out of the original Robocop.
Smh
Sambyhere america's infrastructure continues to crumble. in the meantime we continue to spend trillions overseas to rebuild other countries & partake it misguided, endless wars.
I guess it was a messy situation lol
Cancerous green oozing slime... sounds like they're describing our impeached president.
Everyone in Michigan: “We have lousiest roads in the country and they can’t possibly be any worse!” Green slime: “Hold my beer”
Detroit can’t catch a break.
Literally everything causes cancer nowadays, nothing new
Well I suppose they can rely on the good people of the EPA
Ok so we got the meta-gene going around like off of Black Lightning I got to stay out of there
Ahh, democrats run states and cities...
Is this the slime?
WTF! Shut that place down!
jeffreycortese But Trump's EPA said it was ok. we still have the best wet water in the world.
Lol how can a deadly chemical 'leak' from a 'local business'. I don't know any legit local business people that would want to habour such deadly chemicals. Sounds fishy already! 😔
yep see what happens after 3 years of Donald Trump being in office now we have cancer-causing green Frozen stuff oozing up out of the ground go spineless Republicans if you want to kill our society
The SUPER City of Deeetriot
TheAmirVera You know that Erin Brockovich is a real person right? Would make sense to reference her and not just a Julia Roberts character.
