...that the SUV prototype "demonstrated a rollover response ... with a number of tire, tire-pressure [and] suspension configurations." Another report noted that the Explorer's "relatively high engine position ... prevents further significant improvement in the Stability Index [a measure of resistance to tipping] without extensive suspension, frame and sheet-metal revisions," which the company rejected...

Los Angeles-based environmental consultancy Dames and Moore estimates that between 100 and 200 tons of mercury have already seeped into the soil and water around the main mining site at Talawaan. Many tons more are dumped each month...
