All this poisonous gas wafting all over the place, killing birds and fish, but no reports of any injuries to humans? Interesting.

Phosgene gas modified to only kill Redwing Blackbirds. Now that would be some news.

God only knows. We do know that our nation has researched such weapons in the past. If a particular toxic gas gradually rose, say it was only slightly lighter than our normal atmosphere, there is a chance that birds could be more vulnerable to it for longer than humans, and if it was a test run on a remote spot, it would rise, or at least disperse, before any humans inhaled it.
Birds would show a quicker vulnerability to such things, if you buy the canary in a coal mine model.

And.....
All of the fish killed were Drums. No other type of fish was found dead. |

I find it questionable too. I have worked around phosgene, in a chemical plant. It is nasty stuff and we were on oxy masks whe we did stuff to the lines. Occasionally, there were evacuations when there were significant releases. Phosgene is released in some quantity when foam rubber is burned, like in a house fire. Supposedly it is one of the causes of death by smoke inhalation....

I drove through this area in Arkansas a few months ago. It is very pretty country and a lot of people live there.
It may be considered remote by major city standards, but there are houses everywhere. |
