I've seen very few hard numbers released from this event, and what I have seen does not indicate a HUGE kill. Don't get me wrong, I'm the one that usually has to go out and assess these types of things, so I'm the last one that wants to see this news. I'd like to see some facts and accurate numbers. All I see is histeria on message boards and speculation.
That area had a big kill back in the late 1950s, early 1960s sometime due to mine drainage.
Might be the same this time around but the fish recovered from the spills.
There is only a few miles of stream in the Pennsylvania section (aside from the headwaters) that is suitable for fish.

Another news article said "hundreds" of fish. I can not seem to find the EPA report, though.
