Public officials urge halt to the spread of rampant disinformation around Hurricane Helene
GOP politicians and conservatives online have amplified a slew of false rumors claiming the government is purposely hindering aid operations.Republican and Democratic politicians and officials have in recent days resorted to pleading with people to stop spreading false information related to Hurricane Helene, with many saying that rumors and conspiracy theories are hampering recovery efforts.
A torrent of false claims has muddied details around the recovery efforts following the storm, which left hundreds dead and entire communities destroyed. Much of the bad information has focused on the Federal Emergency Management Agency and its response.
“Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet about the floods in WNC,” Kevin Corbin, a Republican North Carolina state senator, wrote Thursday on Facebook, pointing to false claims of FEMA stealing money from donations, the government controlling the weather from Antarctica or forcing people out of the region in order to mine its lithium, and a slew of other rumors.
“Thanks for listening but I’ve been working on this 12 hours a day since it started and I’m growing a bit weary of intentional distractions from the main job …. which is to help our citizens in need,” he added.

If she is hysterical its because she may have seen the dead. That is UNDERSTANDANDABLE.
But here you are trashing her for your jollies.

I don't know. The nose looks too blunt and the windows are "portholes" on this one. However, I've been and out of a few Hueys and lots Chinoooks in Vietnam but I've never seen a Blackhawk so I don't know shit about them.

I feel sorry for this woman. She's obviously emotional, but who wouldn't be.
But she's just one person, a total stranger. We don't know where she's from, how many people around her are suffering and how badly, how hard they were hit compared to others, and how remote they are. And, we don't know if she has a history of exaggeration, or is mentally impaired, drunk, or sporting a 105 fever, or just a really talented actor. We don't know.
She has no perspective but her own, from the ground level. She apparently has communication with others, and knows only her own neighborhood, not what's happening in the town, township, county, or state. We also don't know what happened before or after, or exactly when this was filmed.
She's not part of any group, no editor or colleague saw this and compared it to her neighbors, or whether it is typical of what they say, or more extreme or not extreme enough. How much of what she said is first-hand? Is she sure those were dead people she smelled, and not livestock, or from the waste treatment plant getting flooded out?
And she's begging people to swarm in. While there's footage of helicopter downwash wiping out aid stations, she's begging for people to bring in more helicopters. Without knowing who is out there, doing what for whom, she wants every ATVer and dirt biker to show up, uncoordinated, and clog the paths. That's unbelievably irresponsible.
She's distraught, so I get why she's not thinking it through. We, though, aren't distraught. There's a system. Let it work.

Allow me to motivate my question/insinuation. I served 3 years in the Army, one of those years was in Vietnam. I've been shuttled back and forth in many Chinook helicopters and a few Hueys but obviously I'm no expert. My comment is born out of naïve (maybe) experience and trust. I am certain that someone in a military or police helicopter crew would have made sure the helicopter “pull up” as soon as it was realized the blades were causing havoc to the humanitarian work on the ground. The media however ….. ? “Get in closer for a good camera angle!”

They won't even look at it.
They just follow the media narrative and continue to cry conspiracies even with overwhelming evidence.

Musk said he was trying to deliver starlink to them. The FAA said you can only land if you know who you are helping. But they cant communicate, so they dont know who is where. Its ******* insane.
Let the people help their friends and family FFS!

The bottom line is that the people of Asheville are as important as the people in Palestine Ohio where a train derailed and spewed toxic chemicals all over the city that killed all the local wildlife.
For the most part, they are poor and a red area, and as such, just ignored, even by a Republican governor who is Mike Dewine.

I look at the people in Asheville as the unborn fetus.
Out of sight, out of mind, and no representation.
No one cares.
They are just too expensive to care for.

But you all don't have any reports from the actual area. You just have rumors spread mainly by morons, but also by some deliberate liars.
I kind of feel bad for you. You're all literally some of the dumbest 'effin humans on the planet. You have no mental defenses against propaganda. Your masters tell you to parrot something stupid, you parrot it.
A tragedy happens, and you use it as an excuse to make up stories to push your sick racism. That's what makes you such a shit human.
When it's revealed that everything your side is saying here is a lie, will you apologize? Of course you won't. You'll scuttle away into a dark crevice, like all the cockroaches on this thread do each time their lies are revealed. None of you ever have any regrets over lying, you only regret getting caught.
Just remember, a person can't serve the Lord of Lies as devotedly as you all do without suffering eternal consequences for it.

The world had to listen to you loons rail against Bush for his response to Katrina, so stuff it.
You have zero credibility on the issue.
You just can't take your own medicine, can you?
Your only goal in life is political power, but once you attain it you don't want to be accountable for anything.
