BEEBE, Ark. — Environmental service worker on Sunday finished picking up the carcasses of about 2,000 red-winged blackbirds that fell dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town.
Mike Robertson, the mayor in Beebe, told The Associated Press the last dead bird was removed about 11 a.m. in the town about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock. He said 12 to 15 workers, hired by the city to do the cleanup, wore environmental-protection suits for the task. The birds had fallen Friday night over a 1-mile area of Beebe, and an aerial survey indicated that no other dead birds were found outside of that area. The workers from U.S. Environmental Services started the cleanup Saturday.
Look I'm guessing this town of people never saw ABC's FlashForward prior to its cancellation. Because if they had, they be fleeing that town as quickly as possible. Gaggle's of birds don't just drop dead from the sky unless some seriously bad shit is about to go down in your town. Like apocalyptic type stuff. We'd probably have a better understanding of whats to come if ABC hadn't pulled the plug prematurely on the show. Thanks alot ABC, now not only does your programming suck, but you've ruined the only chance this world has at being saved. Nice job.
No coincidence either that this happened in some backwoods area in Arkansas. Those people will believe anything you tell them in those kinds of places, perfect cover up a conspiracy. These types of things never happen modern city type areas for a reason. That's just reason number 1,875 why I won't move too far away from any major cities. I don't need to wake up one morning and start pissing my pants in fear over why there are a dozen dead birds just composting and fertilizing my lawn, while Betty-Jean and Billy-Bob Hillbilly from across the street perform religious services in their backyard while simultaneously defending themselves with shotguns. I'm all set with that.
