I found this twitter thread about the aftermath of the “controlled combustion” as it was called: https://nitter.1d4.us/FalconryFinance/status/1624051231554510848#m
Things look really bad. The evacuees won’t be able to return their homes ever again and the burning is causing an ecocide in the vicinity.
There is very little coverage for all this though. I read that reporters were being arrested but wasn’t able to look further into it.
Edit: balloons are getting orders of magnitude richer coverage than an incident that has essentially left 5000 people without homes and their pets dead along with most of the life in the area.
Yeah I saw this reddit post earlier. How anyone thinks they are safe in this country is beyond me. If you live anywhere in the US within several miles of a railway this could have been you.
Yeah I think the affected area being a small village helps in the general apathy for the situation. If a city was facing the spillover it would have been impossible to ignore.
