What Became of the Tragic Town That Made Erin Brockovich Famous? (And Rich!)

In this video, I visited Hinkley, California, a fast disappearing town at the heart of one of the biggest groundwater pollution cases in US history. Pacific Gas & Electric company dumped a chromium solution used to help cool natural gas pipe transfer pumps for years, beginning in the mid-1950's. They settled by agreeing to pay 330 million dollars to lawyers and some town property owners. Erin Brockovich, a legal assistant, was instrumental in helping bring the case against PG&E. Her story was made into a 2000 Hollywood movie, staring Julia Robert's as Erin Brockovich, a role which earned her an Oscar for best actress. But now, 20 years later, no one visits this town. But what's it like now? That's what I wanted to see.
