Iraq's Bloody Lake
This blood-red lake outside of Iraq's Sadr City garnered a fair share of macabre speculation when it was discovered in 2007. One tipster told the tech blog Boing Boing that he was "told by a friend" that slaughterhouses in Iraq sometimes dump blood in canals. No one has offered an official explanation, but it's more likely the color comes from sewage, pollution or a water treatment process.
伊拉克的“血湖”
伊拉克萨德尔城外的血红色湖泊在2007年被发现时就已经引起了足够多的血腥的猜测。有一个知情人士曾经告诉blog boing boing 说,他的“一个朋友告诉他”伊拉克的屠宰场会把血倾倒在运河中。不过,至今没有人提供官方的解释,但是颜色更像是下水道,污染或者水处理所造成的。
