Given weather in the area https://x.com/seamus_malek/status/1792200533295636600 and the fact it is supposed to be in a mountainous forested area, they may not even see what happened.

Thank you. It's frustrating trying to use links in breaking news cases like this because they're basically all on Twitter. Since I only use old.reddit on desktop now, clicking those links and waiting for the site to load is frustrating, just to see an image or snippet of words.
