The world's busiest airport in Atlanta, Georgia, is set to be sued by the Flint Riverkeeper for repeated leaks into the river that provides drinking water for 400,000 metro Atlantans. The Riverkeeper alleges that the river is being polluted with everything from jet fuel to forever chemicals. Gordon Rogers, who filed the precursor of the lawsuit, has seen three different spills this year and noticed things washing downstream. The lawsuit aims to lead to changes to keep people safe and hold the airport accountable.
