SIDOARJO, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA - MAY 28: Survivor statues are displayed at mudflow areas to signify the lives of victims on May 27, 2016 in Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia. Residents of villages that were damaged by the Sidoarjo mudflow and residents received compensation, after almost ten years, from the Indonesian oil and gas company, PT Lapindo Brantas. The mudflow eruption is suspected to have been triggered by the drilling activities of oil and gas company, though they refute the claims, instead blaming a 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck a neighboring city two days before the mudflow eruption. The earthquake struck Yogyakarta on May 27th, 2006, a city 150 miles west of a drill site in Sidoarjo, two days before the mudflow eruption. According to reports, twenty lives were lost and nearly 40,000 people displaced, with damages topping $2.7 billion. Ten years since the eruption, the mud geysers continue to spurt daily and high levels of heavy metals have been detected in nearby rivers.
