Sending Prayers for everyone involved and families
What's with that stupid sound affect?
It’s almost like farmers should be held accountable for once 🤷🏻♂️
We also heard they found another deceased victim in one of the cars towed from the scene. Such a horrible tradgedy! Our family sends prayers to the many people and families that have been impacted by this. I have a relative that drives this route almost daily as a truck driver and I'm so grateful he was safe. I live in Missouri with many acres around me and we have had the same situation here since tending the fields has begun. I don't understand why more people didn't pull into the median or completely off the road? If you can't see to drive, why keep driving ?
CLIMATE CHANGE ISNT REAL LIBS, GET OVER IT. MAY JESUS HAVE MERCY ON YOU.
What was the motive ?
Noon not a maersk container being held up, hurting my earnings per share sadness
LOL, blame the farmers?! Sir… do you enjoy eating? Farmers do NOT control the weather, and they have a very narrow planting window. Perhaps you'd think a bit differently if they missed their planting window, and consequently you and I missed a few meals.
These folks on the interstate were clearly over-driving the conditions. At the end of the day, the MOTORIST is solely responsible for the safe operation of their vehicle. If you can't see, slow down.
Whoever added that stupid tone in editing should be fired
Sounds AS THE HEALTHY AS THE JABS & BOOSTERS BIOWEAPONS FOR CHILDREN.😢
Banks failing… dust storms in the midwest… Great Depression 2 incoming?
Remember the terrible dust storms of the 1930s…..
SENDING PRAYERS TO ALL. GOD BLESS THIER SOULS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THIER LIFE.
May the Lord God rest their souls in Jesus name thank God Amen John 316
Chem trails…weird weather conditions…man-made…maybe???
YES! ITS AN EASY ANSWER!, CORPORATE FARMING CORPORATION! IS RESPONSIBLE!!!!! THEY OWN Thousands of acres of land on both sides of Interstate They spray thousands! If gallons of chemicals thru sub contracts which during that ,Expose any live thing human etc to life changing illnesses in the future, ATTORNEYS 4 THUS DISASTER NEED TO SUE BUG CORPORATE FARMS IN AREA!
Of course there are no "Criminal Charges"! Who are they gonna charge, The dust?!
Democrats are freaking out because they're losing their minions. The woke culture has destroyed the democrat party and it'll never come back…just like the old racist republican establishment will never come back.
Trump 2024!. The citizens will take back the country from the elite.
I wonder if anyone thought about pulling over?
The tone of this newscast is very light hearted and sparkly. Why?
WoW
God really hates that highway!
Wonder why all the people that talk to God didn't warn everyone?
You can't blame people for not being able to see in zero visibility, but people drive like idiots nowadays and stay at highway speed thinking there's nothing ahead of them. Same stuff happens in very dense fog, people don't slow down or put on their hazards. Very sad for all the victims 🙁
Are we getting a new dust bowl too? Is history really repeating itself?
Farmer John had better have deep pockets!
I'm cheering for Russia, shout out to my boy Putin, thank you for annihilating the Bandera regime
People probably saw zero visibility so to them that means speed up and go faster. Semi trucks probably went the same speed and never slow down.
This is what happens when you drive too fast for the conditions.
wow but no surprise
40 Plus yrs All kinds of weather, GOING to Tucson az i seen dust coming eigth of a mile exit I miss the exit but white line got me off where on ramp comes on 32 trucks car's worse of the worse
Is this zombie apocalypse movie set??
WE DID IT🤨✨✨✨✨TF?
Tell your farmers to stop tilling every year, use no till methods. It retains water, provides nutrients to the soil so no need for chemical fertilizer. This could have been avoided.
