Genuinely curious if anyone local to East Palestine actually tracked this or if its mostly secondhand stuff circulating on Twitter. Because that matters a lot here.
I've looked into a few cases where comms disruption preceded industrial "accidents" and honestly the pattern is there if you dig, but the evidence quality is usually garbage by the time it gets shared around. Screenshots of screenshots, you know how it goes.
What I'd want to know is whether anyone pulled actual tower activity data or if this is purely anecdotal. Not saying it didn't happen, just that the story needs something harder than "my mate said his phone cut out." That gets us nowhere and gives the debunkers easy ammunition.
New Orleans has some sketchy infrastructure history of its own so I'm not exactly a sceptic about this kind of thing. But we gotta be honest about what we actually have vs what we're assuming. Anyone got anything more solid?
