Toxic Town: Picher Oklahoma
May 9, 2008 - People are leaving, escaping the reality of life in one of the worst environmental nightmares in the country. A voluntary federal buyout is hastening the exodus.
Picher's mines closed around 1970; the wounds they inflicted on the people and land never healed.
It is the center of the Tar Creek Superfund site, a 40-square-mile area that also takes in portions of Missouri and Kansas.
