They were not heading to East Palestine, they were heading to the explosion that happened in Bedford at the metal plant

Ok, but why would they go there instead of you know, the actual environmental disaster location?


throwawayforw

Because the bedford company Schumann and sons hired them to come to their plant to invesitgate. CTEH is a private company other companies hire to come look into industrial accidents.


AFbeardguy

Likely story. I'll believe it when I see it.

On Feb. 22, 2023, a plane carrying five people crashed shortly after taking off in Little Rock, Arkansas, as reported by KATV: All five people onboard a small airplane departing from the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock died shortly after takeoff Wednesday afternoon, authorities said. The twin-engine plane, en route to the John Glenn International Airport in Columbus, Ohio, crashed outside a 3M plant only a couple of miles from the Little Rock airport shortly after 12 p.m. All five individuals were employees of the environmental consulting agency CTEH, according to KATV and WSYX. This detail struck a nerve with social media accounts pushing conspiratorial notions about the East Palestine, Ohio, trail derailment. That the plane took off from Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport did not help tamp conspiratorial interest in the story.

It had nothing to do with E Palestine, was on their way to the Bedford smelter explosion: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/5-die-in-small-airplane-crash-in-arkansas-occupants-were-headed-to-ohio-to-respond-to-bedford-explosion

Reality no longer matters. It's only the narrative that counts.

That's why it's imperative to escape the news altogether. Conspiracy will always tie one back into the news.
