‘Nauseous’ sewage spill in Acapulco captured in viral video

The coastline of famed Mexican beach resort Acapulco was sullied late last week by a large discharge of raw sewage, the ugly scene captured in a viral video, which has prompted local officials to promise an investigation and fix broken drains.

The video taken from a nearby balcony shows a high-pressure stream of raw sewage flowing into the water from just off of Acapulco’s Icacos Beach, possibly from a nearby busted sewer line.

The beach, which has been especially popular with Mexican tourists, is a few meters from a local hotel.
