Dry and cracked mud is seen near a site where foul-smelling mud has been flowing from an oil and gas exploration well operated by local company PT Lapindo Brantas in Sidoarjo, East Java Sept. 12, 2006. The Village chief is hoping to save the Indonesian hamlet of Kedungbendo from a torrent of mud flowing unchecked from an exploratory oil well.
