[Cube11679]

@lordlong i thought they were carp but some people said buffalo i am not sure

Cube11679, you don't say just where on the river you made your video.

FYI everybody, the effluent from the train fire flows into the Kishwaukee River on south Perryville RD, which in turn flows into the Rock River south of the Rockford (RKFD) airport.

Utter disgrace! This eco disaster is HUGE. DNR reports nothing on their website about this. Only local news coverage. Amazing how I'm still informing people about this - they had no idea. The river is shot. I've fished it for years and have never seen anything like it. Sometimes shad die along the banks after the ice melts but this is way different. This needs to be investigated and we have to demand answers. Don't give up.

Them are carp idiot

Now I happen to live in Australia, so dont know the area... But YES this would have caused the fish to die with the fuel that was on the train.... Tho one thing I gotta admit, one good way to clean up the carp's.

Seagulls are smarter than the Americans they know not to eat the fish as Americans eat what- ever the government feeds them and too weak to do anything about it.  Obamanation of the Americants as they are lead to the slater house by the ruler Obama. Wake up America your under siege

someone probaley just farted in the river

[mllawso1]

@jdtech21089 It has happened before. I've seen similar mass die offs several times in the past 10 years, and that's just in Byron.

Ethanol isn't that toxic -- it's essentially drinking alcohol. Thousands of gallons might sound like a lot, but for a river it's just a drop in the bucket. By the time it reached the river it would be too dilute to do any harm.

[jdtech21089]

you can blame farmers but if thats the case why hasn't it happened before? and why did it only happen for a short period of time. also buy the time june all the chemicals that farmers use would of all ready been gone or how ever you want to put it(used up) and like like the next comment down says about the ethonal being deluted the same would go for the spray chemicals. so before you go blaming farmers consider that

If the derailment didn't happen, do you think people would be saying it was the nuclear plant?
