Death by Sunny D

Ummm...gross.
"Eight thousand litres of brightly coloured liquid used in the manufacture of Sunny Delight leaked into a tributary of the river Parrett in Somerset. Environment Agency officers were called to Gerber Foods after a local drainage board reported that a nearby drainage ditch had turned bright yellow...Checks by the Environment Agency showed dissolved oxygen levels in the drainage ditch had dropped to 8 per cent compared with the usual 60 per cent. Officers saw fish in distress on the surface. Low levels of dissolved oxygen suffocate fish." (The Independent [UK])
