Please provide said photos, and while you're at it, proof that these photos are indeed recent and taken in the watershed affected by the incident.

I hear this over and over and over, but I've never seen actual evidence that these pictures are authentic AND reflect the widespread condition of the area.

I honestly haven’t seen much detailed information in the major news outlets other than there was a train derailed, a burn, some fish died, some people were evacuated, everything okay and safe now, “by the way we shot down some UFOs”, “do aliens exist?”

It’s possible I’m missing something but for whatever reason I don’t feel like it’s getting the coverage it really deserves which, by itself, raises questions.

It’s the only thing I’ve heard about. I think there’s some rat fuckery going on, I agree. I’m not so sure it’s a cover up orchestrated or enabled by the government as much as other actors using the opportunity to stoke distrust in the government.

After the last two years, you don't need anything to help distrust the government. This administration has been a total disaster in all key policy areas.

From energy to transportation to foreign policy. A total mess for seemingly no reason.

If you come at it with that attitude, then nothing can be trusted.

Unless you go do the work yourself, you're going to have to trust others with the work!

Please provide the official air measurements as well as a proof they're recent and taken in the affected area with no manipulation

Same for water

Oh wait, nobody can

Why don’t you go out to the site yourself? The burden of proof is on you. Nobody should go out of their way to try and convince some rando on the internet.

I'm not making claims about the environmental impact of this disaster. Typically the person making the claims provides evidence backing up their claims.

Really, no one has provided a link to any credible images?

What are credible images anyway nowadays? The source of the images is what gives them credibility. A person that you trust.

Yes, the credibly of the source is commonly understood to contribute to the overall credibility of an image.

I'd trust AP or AFP to have pictures showing the environmental damage with the correct context.
