DRASTIC CRITICISM

In a bizarre video from China, filmed at a lake in the Chinese city of Jiaozuo, hundreds of silver carp are seen frantically jumping from the water, many to their own demise, as the person filming exclaims in amazement. Residents feared that the ‘mass suicide’ was a sign of an impending earthquake or some other disaster. However, the authorities insisted the carp were perturbed by a singing competition that was being held nearby and apparently startled the skittish fish. coasttocoastam.com, 19 June 2017, via D.Star.
