The latest pony to strut into island's apocalyptic parade of disasters is a mud geyser/leak of epic proportions.
Oh, and the mud is coming up with toxic chemical.
So much of the mud has come up since this problem started, that there are now 8 villages buried in muck. A highway and train track have been cut off.
New Indonesia Calamity: A Man-Made Mud Bath - New York Times:

Indonesia has become a State of Disasters.
