The next day just before midnight 5,000 blackbirds drop within a 1.5 mile radius in Beebe, Arkansas.
Which is only about 125 miles away.
This is NOT an everyday occurence.
"The fish kill only affected one species of fish," Keith Stephens of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission reported to CNN. "If it was from a pollutant, it would have affected all of the fish, not just drum fish."
It would have been LESS strange had they not all been the same species of bird and fish. Still strange none the less but i don't want to throw out any "conspiracy theories". Supposedly, the fish may have been diseased and the the birds may have died from stress from New Year's Eve fireworks...I didn't buy that.
After preliminary autopsies on 17 of the birds, the states top vetinarian told NBC news on Monday, that it was blunt force trauma to their organs.
"Their stomachs were empty, which rules out poison," Dr. George Badley said, "and they died in midair, not on impact with the ground."
Now bad weather is being deemed as the culprit.
I dont know about you guys but im gonna party like its 1999....er...2012, maybe.
