But it's still amazing that we haven't settled where it came from, and instead everyone decided to approach this factual matter as a political one, stupidmaxxing.
Not only that, we all just moved on as if nothing happened, despite this event having killed so many people, and destroying countless other people's lives. Not by natural event, but (under either theory, since it really wasn't that deadly) due to the actions or reactions of people.
Kind of makes one understand where the emotional urge for "judgment" stories like the Egypt locusts in bible etc, where whole societies just get wrecked, motivated by various forms of wanting righteous retribution against society at large come from. The average person's attitude and behavior is just so profoundly contemptible.
