I see a million tweets on Twitter about this story that "I haven't heard of."


Let's not forget the dozens of Reddit posts that have made it to the front page of /r/all


This might be hard to believe, some people don't use reddit or twitter! You bet your ass I still heard about balloons, though.


This might be hard to believe, but if events are at the top of the most used social media sites, it’d be pretty ignorant to think awareness is isolated in any way to social media. You’d have to have been living under a rock to not have heard of these derailments last week.


And yet, many people are talking about how no one is talking about it, presumably because the news didn't reach below the rock they are apparently living under. Funny that.


Or, much more likely, they're mindlessly parroting "no one is talking about it" because headlines say "no one is talking about it" to drum up discussion and controversy.


Okay man, you know best.


You are able to consume and digest millions of tweets? You are a wonder!
