Local investigators determine Arkansas birds died from 'impact trauma'

The birds that fell from the night sky in Arkansas on New Year's Eve probably died from crashing into buildings and other structures after becoming disoriented and panicked, possibly by fireworks, according to examinations of the birds conducted by veterinary pathologists with the National Wildlife Health Center here in Madison.........

Examinations of the birds sent to the center this week showed most had injuries consistent with collisions, including bruising of tissues and organs. The investigation by the laboratory turned up no evidence of poisoning or the presence of pesticides that might have been responsible for the deaths.

"It was impact trauma," said Scott Wright, branch chief of disease investigations at the laboratory. "What they're thinking is that there were some commercial-grade fireworks that went off. Those need a permit but nobody applied for a permit so it's unlikely anybody would come forward. There were something like 10 booms reported."

The map of Worldwide incidents of dead fish and birds, is just pretty much usual and normal, since heavy fishing trawlers frequently clean their nets and dump unwanted dead fish overboard and they wash up on beaches in large numbers. Since there is always another hysteria dejour going on lately, the reports will be exaggerated and hyped up as catastrophic and unnatural.

And due to instant reporting 24/7 with everybody having cellphones and video/You Tube capability, it stands to reason that we will be even more bombarded with hysteria and hyperventilating reports of impending man-made Global disaster.
