Thousands of blackbirds dropped dead on New Year's Eve in Arkansas in an incident eerily similar to one that occurred at the same time a year ago.
The disturbing deaths in Beebe, a city northwest of Little Rock, were sparked after loud fireworks sent flocks of the small birds into a panic, scientists said. This caused them to collide with each other, as well as power lines, houses and cars.
Funny how this firework/bird death phenomenon only happens in a small Arkansas town on New Year's Eve. They better come up with a better dumb explanation.

Last year when this happened, it was suggested that fireworks frightened the birds to death. A flash hail storm or massive lightning strikes were also discussed as possibilities.
This year, all three theories have so far been debunked, as the weather was calm in Arkansas last night and police even imposed an impromptu firework ban in an effort to prevent it from happening again.
Looks like that didn't work. So what is causing this "aflockalypse?"

They said it was fireworks last year, then birds AND FISH started dying out all over the world. I think it's gonna happen again.
