What the fark is going on in Arkanas?!?!?

State officials are investigating why thousands of fish washed up dead on the shores of the Arkansas River last week.

Officials are expected to release their estimate of the total number of dead fish Monday, local NBC station KARK 4 News reported. It is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.

The fish were found Thursday by a tugboat operator along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near the city of Ozark.

As the story says though, sick birds can't fly... so they definitely would not have traveled 90 miles.

EDIT: Also, it would be very likely that a lot of other animals would be dead around that area. Sure, it could be a disease that only affects one type of fish and one type of bird, but that's probably extremely unlikely.

Blunt trauma to something that fell from the sky and hit the ground?

No way!

5000 birds just fell from the sky with all their organs exploded at the same time. Why would they all die at the same time while flying? I don 't know why more people aren't curious about this. Along with 100,000 fish washing ashore in what's known as a clean river at the same time. weirdness

more birds died in Louisiana.
