Officials are still guessing at the motivation, but some time over the weekend father and son employees of Snyder Brothers Inc. opened the valves on seven crude oil storage tanks and spilled a massive amount of oil into Chappel Fork in Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. "The Forest Service said the spill polluted four miles of Chappel Fork and nearly two miles of Indian Run. The staff began finding dead fish -- trout and shiners -- as well as reptiles and amphibians yesterday." Allison M. Heinrichs in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

They should take these 2 nitwits, fill a 55 gallon drum with crude oil, hold both there heads in the crude oil so they both could have the same feeling the fish and wildlife in and around these streams experienced.
Two total nutcases. I hope father and son both enjoy a large fine and some jail time.
WHO BRED THESE IDIOTS
Put them in jail and make them drink the water from the rivers they poluted while they're in there!
Make them pay for the total clean-up right down to the penny and then fine them and then throw them in jail for 10yrs because thats what it will take for total recovery of the system affected or just shoot them ( no mercy )

This is what happens when you have right wing talk show fanatics constantly condemning anyone that cares about the outdoors and protecting it. Steven Tiede Bishop, Ca.
