I currently reside in central Arkansas, very close to where all the drilling is done. We experience small earthquakes weekly. When people ask questions they are pretty much called stupid. I know someone who is working on their masters in biology. She did her thesis on this stuff and presented a lot interesting information. In her home town Faulkner county, a crew of oil workers wrecked a truck filled with chemicals. These chemicals were the same ones used for fraccing. The area was shut off and simply cleaned with water and with my personal experience with hazardous chemicals, this is going to do nothing other than help spread them even further. This stuff gets in your drinking water causing cancer and other serious diseases.

A friend of mine says "If it was phosgene, there would have been massive fluid drainage from the nose and mouth of the birds. Phosgene causes the lungs to fill with fluid and when you are lying on the ground it tends to leak from the mouth and nose. I saw no evidence of this in the bird photos from Arkansas."

But would birds be affected in the same manner as humans? Their systems may in some ways be similar to humans, but enough?

Birds are not known for drooling, I don't think you'd see much "leaking" from a birds mouth if it was gassed with phosgene.

disrupts the blood-air barrier, causing suffocation.

If Birds are dropping from the sky from Phosgene ...get out of Arkansas and never go back.

THe first thought that comes to my mind on this is that I was under the inpression that we didnt find any wmps. So why are we drilling holes in ARK to get rid of it? Seems to me that with the beatdown President Bush took in the media about not finding wmps he would have held up 5 lbs. worth as proof. what do you think he would have done with tons of it?
