If they did happen, just like the suicides, they will be reported eventually based on more than one source. In any major catastrophe, rumors of Armageddon run rampant. Some of it is true, most of it is not.
As I have thought about this, I have decided that restraint is the best thing at this point. Why get myself all upset (which I was) about things that may not have happened?
I understand and have been burnt by rumors before too.
Being in Texas this directly affects me as 250k are coming through here, many will stay.
I also know its in the best interests of the country and stability to not report certain things during a national crisis. And that not all truth can always be confirmed, even on the great FR.
But your point is understood and appreciated.
Hopefully the worst rumors will prove false, although it may be wishful thinking.
