INDUSTRIAL CLEVELAND, OHIO -- part 2

THE FLATS

Cleveland's polluted Cuyahoga River caught fire many times in the 20th century -- causing deaths and millions dollar losses.

But the June 22, 1969 fire drew world wide attention.

The fallout helped create the Clean Water Act and other environmental protections.

I was note quite five years old when the river caught fire.

Now it is clean enough to row on.

And there are waterside parks.
