Bear, my instinct is the same as yours---until I put myself in the shoes of their loved ones who need to know what happened to them. It's like having a child disappear and never know what happened to them---until their murdered body is found.

In this case, draining NO quickly to find a relatively and notice the key word is RELATIVELY small amount of bodies instead of taking their time now that the damage has been done rather than going full speed ahead and doing something that effects the water, environment and possibly health of millions of people.... well it just doesn't compute.
