100,000 dead fish in Arkansas near where 5,000 blackbirds dropped from sky

The AP said more than 1000 birds fell from the sky, but CNN put the number at up to 5000.

This is really odd? I'm not buying the lightning story. If that was the case, then we would see it more often. After all lightening happens all the time. It would not be an anomaly. Can anyone else ever recall this happening before? Ditto the disease fish. Very odd indeed.

I blame Global Warming.

A dry run ?

[TASMANIANRED]

Fin and flock disease.

Reports are just beginning to come in. We should hear about dead mammals and reptiles, especially frogs and turtles. Unless this is in an area with no people there should also be reports of human deaths. It sound like a massive gas bubble. Is there a major lake in the area?

Smells fishy. Like a chemical weapons test.

BUSH'S FAULT!

[Kieri]

Isn’t Arkansas experiencing a surge in earthquakes? I wonder if friction in the fault lines are...er...”at fault.”

[o_zarkman44]

I don’t think any official government explanation should be accepted for this.

[InvisibleChurch]

Why do we always get our local news from the U K?

[Domestic Church]

There has been some earthquake activity so maybe a methane release?

Sure. Thousands of birds felled by lightning. Happens everywhere all the time, right? Sure. Why remember the last time...uh...over near...um...

“The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said it suspected disease was to blame for the death of the drum fish...”

Disease wouldn’t send them all belly up in a short time span, and the birds reveal their is more to this than that explaination.

[TYVets]

The commission said that New Year's Eve revellers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.

What an ignorant statement. Perhaps stupid is a better description of that part of the statement.

How many PETA persons are on the commission?

The commission said that New Year's Eve revellers shooting off fireworks in the area could have startled the birds from their roost and caused them to die from stress.

Yeah, sure.

This is certainly very odd.

[Rational Thought]

You couldn’t expect the Baghdad Bob Media here to report on this?
