    There was one on both the allegheny and the mon just days apart...

    Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

    The one on the Allegheny was related to the one on the Mon. They took the recovered cleaning agents to the plant on the Allegheny but it was more than they could handle, started reacting in the tanks, and was released into the river at the discharge near the southern end of the island by the Hulton bridge. Supposedly non-toxic to humans (detergent) but harmful to some aquatic life.
