If you said a blacktop road you are wrong. It is the surface of a Louisiana waterway covered with tons of dead fish, crabs, eels and stingrays and a dead whale from an unidentified fish kill event. Jalopnik says,
There's no proof that the BP oil spill is to blame for this particular fish kill, but frankly, no matter what the cause, it's still a horrific sight to see.
