This was really impactful for me as a reader because my mother is from missouri and this is still something I have never heard of. The investigative reporting done by two mothers shows the power of the people! What blows me away is the community would have never been warned about such outcomes if there women didn't seek out the truth. There could be a necular fallout and i'm on the edge of my seat reading to what is coming next...

This is scary and very hard hitting to read as the younger generation who hasn't even gotten to the part of their life where they've thought about kids. Putting cilmate change into a way that it affects the readers personal life is impactful and somethings the only way to get them to listen. Playing on the fathers job which is to write about fictional horror while as a mother she needs to teach her children of the horror to come is an interesting comparison.

The author giving examples of the letters being thrown away makes it even more impactful and gut wrenching that people are losing letters from their children

I appreciate the ending of this reading because although it is telling a story it is also journalism and this brings us back to that at the end. We can assume the falling man is any of those people previosuly mentioned but that fact is we know very little about him.

I find this quote particularly interesting because there are so many questions around photojournalism and its ethics. Is it unethical to take photos of very intimate or hard to look at moments? When it comes down to it that is what being a photojournalist is... Unless there is something the photojournalist can do in that moment to aid someone then it's their job to capture history. Sometimes history is hard to look at but these things arre necessary.
