Small plane crash lands in Susquehanna River

Last Friday, a man from Florida was flying his private plane and ran out of fuel. He had to crash land in the river, leaving the plane there. The small plane is still in the river. Hopefully it will be taken out of the river soon or the fuel and other chemicals from the plane might do damage to the water.

Abandoned mines in PA turning rivers orange

While doing research on rivers online, I read an article about how tributaries of the Lackawanna and Susquehanna Rivers have both been damaged by acid from abandoned mine projects. Holes dug in the tributaries create water up flow that stains the water and rocks touching it. I thought this was an interesting subject and I didn’t know that this problem was so big in Pennsylvania.
