CLEVELAND, Ohio- Hundreds of seagulls were injured or killed after investigators found hundreds of gallons of cooking oil spewing out of a sewer pipe into the Cuyahoga River.

The dead and injured sea gulls were found just downstream from where environmentalists last week celebrated the river’s comeback since floating oil and debris caught fire on June 22, 1969. The burning river has become a joke and symbol of urban decay in Ohio.
