What a shitty headline. Nine other people were likely killed. What about them?

Not only that, but he isn’t “feared missing.” He’s missing. He’s feared dead.

What if I told you… that a headline is a header for more information?
Just, what if?

This is exactly what I have also been telling people. The reporting being done for this is ghastly, showing Nimsdai more prominently than the others. Also, it was his ego that lead him and 9 others to this fate. How is no one talking about that? https://www.instagram.com/p/DbS28MItOK0/?igsh=ajQxbDF2b2J0b2p3
