Dozens of workers at Glencore’s McArthur River Mine have been stranded in mine buildings after floodwaters from Cyclone Megan cut access back to the worker accommodation, while two workers had to be rescued from floodwaters after their vehicle washed off an internal road, the company has confirmed.
In a statement about 5pm Thursday, Glencore spokesman Francis De Rosa said that as a result of rising floodwaters on Wednesday, the internal road between the McArthur River mine village and operational areas was cut off and the site was also affected by a Territory-wide Telstra outage.

and what about the 63 truckloads of highly reactive, toxic waste they dumped in the wrong spot??
