1978, the "Ralph Canal Incident" broke out in New York, USA. Since 1970, the local residents have been showing signs of diseases, and the incidence of miscarriage, baby malformation and cancer remains high.

After investigation by the government, it was found that the reason was that the chemical company that previously held the canal buried the canal full of toxic waste and then donated it to the local government to develop it into a residential area; In the same year, Carter announced the emergency evacuation of more than 800 families near the Rafe Canal, and demolished about 500 houses, as well as 99th Street School and 93rd Street School to clean up the local environment.

Carter admits that there are many cases similar to the Ralph Canal all over the country, and these are "one of the most severe discoveries of our time".
