Dallas River Turns Red With (Hog) Blood
A nearby meat-packing plant is being investigated as the cause of Trinity River's platelet-rich waters
A river in southern Dallas has turned red with the fresh blood of swine, alarming environmentalists and creating the ultimate nightmare for hemophobiacs.
The bloody saga of Cedar Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River that cuts Dallas in two, splashed onto headlines this week after a model-plane enthusiast spotted a suspicious red patch in the water through his drone's camera. The man submitted a photo to sUAS News, a site devoted to the topic of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which then helped break the story of the gory river (and to many, the news that people are flying drones above our heads this very second).
