Carlan Tapp, a freelance photojournalist, traveled to the area and produced the following segment combining interviews and his photography.

Why do I know nothing about this in Indiana? I watch news everyday, I read newspapers online. I am the most informed person I know! After watching the still shots and hearing these stories I kind of think that I might remember hearing something about this months ago. I shouldn’t have to go searching for a story this big it should be everywhere. I guess it can’t when about every third commercial on tv is about clean coal. The irony of the piece to me was when the tva people were speaking to the crowd in the church everyone was coughing! I vow to seek out the news about this and tell everyone on my email list also. Thanks.
