N.Y. Governor Andrew Cuomo orders probe of black water in Niagara Falls
Quote:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has directed state regulators to investigate wastewater discharges that turned water near the base of Niagara Falls black this past weekend.
The Democrat announced that the city of Niagara Falls, N.Y. may have violated state water quality standards Saturday when the local wastewater treatment plant discharged foul-smelling, black-coloured water into the Niagara River just below the falls.
[...]
Niagara Falls, Ont. Tourism chairman Wayne Thomson said the discharge into the river was ?totally unacceptable.?
He said he had ?all kinds of people? in the tourism industry calling him, and describing the incident as a ?disaster.?
Thomson said although the incident happened in Niagara Falls, N.Y., many people who consume the news might not distinguish between the two sides.

No kidding to to that last point in bold. Some people might even edit headlines in an attempt to spread fake news and blatant lies.
