5000 Birds Die From Fireworks? (A pyrotechnician commentary)

In all my years of shooting fireworks in locations such as bridges buildings etc I have never experienced dead birds. I am not saying it is impossible, but for 5000 birds to fall dead out of the sky in a one mile radius in Arkansas is highly unlikely in my opinion. This announcement will certainly give the anti-fireworks people false information to hold against us.
I would be interested to hear from pyrotechnicians outside of the United States if they have ever experienced such a massive bird dead from fireworks.

It's indeed a retarded explanation..!

In the Netherlands everybody goes insane at 12 o'clock with fireworks since everybody has full permission to buy and lit them. We're talking about 68 million euro's of fireworks in a matter of 1 hour, in total it must be a thousand ton (don't know the actual number, but police yearly confiscate between 60 to 100 ton of illegal fireworks so legal fireworks must be a multitude of that)

And still:

No dead birds falling from the sky, ever!

[UraniumSalute]

If someone has fireworks loud enough to kill 5000 birds, I obviously don't know much about good fireworks.

[cheesynerd117]

Even if that many birds where flying at that exact high at night (not common at all, hard to see) the sound and light of the fireworks would scare them away from the area. Not possible.

[tommilkybarkid]

They poison their food source to cull them if there gets to many, and as 5000 died at once, there must have been tens of thousands eating crops :P

[JKDMultix]

More like a cover story for some sort of chemical spillage in the birds food source and they used an easy escape goat at the time FIREWORKS!!!! typical media and governmental bodies.

there no way a shock wave from fireworks could do that

[mdfaella]

Impossible that fireworks was the cause. I doubt that many birds would be flying around at night. No doubt scientists would have investigated and have lab results on the birds AND fish as to the cause of death for everyones safety. Also, the detonation of the shell probably wouldn't leave much of the bird carcass around unless we're talking about decibels or shock waves, which doesn't make sense to anyone with half a brain.

i heard there was a sloar flare emp waves from that on dec 31 2010

[favoritescollection]

Hmmm... yet anopther example of how the government is lying to people (of which the media is their favorite tool for propaganda). Common sence will tell you that, if their story is true, there would therefore be birds dead ALL OVER THE WORD, because people celebrate New Year's Eve globally! Soooo... there would have been birds falling out of the sky over the entire planet, not just in one area. Unfortunately for them, some people are more intelligent and can smell a lie like dog shit on a shoe.

[asdercks]

i think haarp is to be blame or some kind of electromagnetic weapon that the goverment is using or how about chemtrails

[fireworkcrazykid93]

Honestly over here in Liverpool the only thing i came across when i was shooting fireworks was a few dogs barking and the odd cat running across the street. Never anything dies from fireworks :/ theres a lot of other things that could of done this not just fireworks.

[linniejt]

It was methane gas from the new madrid fault. That would explain the fish too. The new madrid fault is becoming active. Birds are used in mines to detect methane gas because they are so sensative to it. it can kill a bird and we may not even get a wiff of it. Why they wont just say it is beyond me. Maybe they dont want everyone to panic. The New madrid fault runs through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. Talk to people on that fault line and see what they have to say.

[FeakForJ3sus247]

I live in Arkansas and the news report was that the fireworks scared the birds and the birds all flew into eachother. That's why they just kinda fell out of the sky dead. I'm not sure about that story though.

[thedisruptor3000]

Reine Propaganda der Regierung!!

Warum sind in den letzten Jahren zu Silvester keine Vögel vom Himmel gefallen??

Haben die Leute etwa kein Silvester in den letzten Jahren gefeiert??

Vielleicht, weil es garnichts damit zu tun hat??

Vielleicht, weil die Regierung wieder irgend etwas getestet hat, was die Bevölkerung nicht wissen darf?? Man weis es nicht..

Das einzige was ich weis ist, das es nichts mit Pyrotechnik zu tun hat..

[nrubmx]

i think this is complete bs because DOES THIS EVER HAPPEN ON 4TH OF JULY? NOOO!!!!!!! and in louisiana like 3 days after this there was a town that had over 1000 of the same birds dead.

[kevinmeehan71]

hold on there arent birds afraid of fireworks so shouldnt they fly away?

[scipelayo]

Hopefully they have a benign reason behind lying to us. Maybe some technology they're testing out.

[RealMemoryDecay]

BULLSHIT. I am a pyro myself and have shot fireworks my whole life and never on a 4th of July has this happened, and far more people shoot fireworks on the 4th and the few on New Years. And fireworks don't kill the birds, not even the smoke they just fly away from it, I am awake to the plans of the NWO and it was either a work from them or simply from the oil spill and the birds ate fish that were contaminated or something, or it can be a bird flu or something we aren't being told about.

[lightfire33]

same thing happened in sweden lots of birds just dropped out of the sky. nothing to do with fireworks

[RoyVuurwerk]

Is all I can say about this.

[MegaToren]

Its called: NEW WORLD ORDER. Look it up people. The whole thing is a sham.

[L33tP1ckL]

Leave it to the liberals to not only perfect, but wear out beyond any form of recognition, the debate technique commonly know as 'crying wolf'. AKA: No matter how wrong you are, keep digressing from the actual subject at hand and try to sound really passionate whilst doing so.

[808kalihi808]

where i live on oahu , alot of illegal fireworks go up at 12 o clock for a finale and i see no dead birds
