    I disagree, based on the same evidence you've linked.

      "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

        Note the word probably. If one find it interesting one shouldn't flag it just because "we use to flag stuff like that".

  This seems ideal as an HN post to me - generating fruitful discussion and bringing in various viewpoints and areas of expertise. And the fact that it's a current event means that people have a bit of leeway in speculation: we all have the same limited source of information (on the ground video).

    I agree. This has components of science and policy. There are people in the community who can contribute valuable insight.
