I'm not convinced the Schlitterbahn accident really happened.

It's all over the newspapers, the Wednesday star had it as a headliner, his father is also a lawyer...I believe the ride itself is still closed, but I could be wrong.

That's not proof that something actually happened.

It's evidence. Do you have any evidence it did not happen?

My unfulfilled challenge to bring one eye witness account, or non fatal victim picture to light.

So, you have no evidence it didn't happen. Gotcha, just checking.

Here and here. Thanks for playing.

what reason would anyone have for fabricating this event?

I for one blame Soros.

To create a new government agency.

I see, now we have a motive posited. What would this government agency be that would require a huge media hoax involving a faked child's death on a water slide? Water slide regulation?

ok, why not?

Every piece of news I've looked for advances the story but doesn't present the information it claims to.

For instance, The eyewitness articles didn't have any eye witness testimony. There is not one video or picture of anything relevant to it.. anything.

I just watched a new video that claims to have info from the fellow riders but it's just a statement the news team shows on a screen promising an investigation.

I can't find any proof it did happen.

one piece of proof it happened. Just one solid piece of proof. Which you didn't supply.

One picture of one victim or one witness on camera besides the state official father.

One piece of solid evidence like you can find in any other tragedy you hear about in the news.

Well, given that between a police investigation, a funeral, news reports, eyewitnesses, his own father... I would suggest that the extraordinary claim is that it didn't happen.

What is any evidence that there's a coverup? What would be gained?

Is this like when conspiracy theorists wanted pictures of the dead kids from Newtown, Mass?

All I ask for is one picture of one of the victims, or a living breathing eye witness.

So, you want a picture of Caleb Schwab's dead body.

No, there were two other victims, and there should be tons of witnesses.

I'm having a hard time finding before or after pics of the other two victims.

Here's the first result for "caleb schwab eyewitness" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OODCPywn7Cw

I mean, the Daily Mail has video of the pooled blood at the bottom of the ride and the first responders. I'm going to go ahead and believe this happened.

You believe what you want. But take a moment and notice how the news man clearly lies about what that witness saw. Which is more accurately depicted here.

When the newsman tells the story for castenada, it differs from the quotes castaneda gave of the account.

A big difference to note, Castaneda says he did not see what happened, the newsman claims he did.

Also, the newsman says Castaneda said "theres nothing we can do" as if he was with the child, but Castaneda says he was told "there is nothing we can do" while not with the child.

Castenada says he saw Schwab exit the raft and saw blood. I'm confused as to what you're claiming to be discrepancies.

The child was decapitated, there was nothing anyone could do. You can find video of the responders and fire trucks. You can see a pool of blood. They had a funeral. The ride is closed.

You're grasping at straws.

Was the proof you provided a news video full of lies?

Yes or no?

You're not making any sense, dude. What exactly are the lies, again? Castenada claims to have seen at least part of the series of events. That's what an eyewitness is.

Now who looks stupid?

So, are you now actively claiming the event didn't happen, and that all the media reports, police and first responder reports, his own father, witnesses... are lies? That it's a coverup to... Uh, do what again?

Because that would look pretty stupid.

Not as stupid as you.

Not as stupid as you.

Just gonna copy that one before the inevitable delete.

You're the one who posted a video that was clearly wrong and then turned this into a name calling contest.

I won both the factual argument and the name calling contest.

I never called you a name.

Which video was clearly wrong? They both have Castenada explaining what he saw. Again, you seem to posit the claim that this event did not take place, but you offer literally no evidence.

I didn't make this thread, you did.

Everything I said is still up, and it's enough to make you look stupid. So if you want to have a conversation go back and try to understand what I said.

As I understand it you seem to be claiming Caleb Schwab was not killed on the water slide, but offer nothing by way of evidence.

Furthermore, what I do have proof of is that you present lies as evidence.

What were the lies again?

Everything the entertainer said in your video contradicted the quotes given in the News article.

What is the "contradiction" that makes you think that Schwab was not killed on the water slide?

There's no witnesses when they say there are.

The people the news claims witnessed the event claimed they did not witness the event.

Castenada is claiming that he witnessed the events, that he turned his head and saw the body out of the seat of the ride. That he saw blood.

You don't have to prove something didn't happen if there is no proof it did happen.

Fake news reports filled with easily proven lies are what you bring to the table while trying to prove me wrong.

Well, there is the mountain of news coverage, police involvement, a funeral, his father's statements, eyewitness accounts, video of the scene... That's evidence it did happen.

At which point positing that it did not happen is the more extraordinary claim, and would require evidence. Between the two claims the burden of proof is on you to show me a single thing. It's clear that I have shown somethig.

What would a motive even be to make it up?

I mean show me a single thing other than blanket-claiming all the evidence is a lie.

You're wrong.

(I don't talk myself out of winning positions)

we live in a madhouse

Why does AP report these Crisis Actors as real news.

you might say that i'm being crazy saying these are crisis actors.

But this video was actually listed on the CrisisActors.org website BEFORE they made it account only. You could probably find in On the wayback machine, but Archive.org didnt take a picture of the whole site, so youll have to dig thru dates to find it.

don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see

I mean, we're talking about something else.

Do you have any evidence that a "crisis actor" was involved here?

Also, anyone who has fire department or EMT training probably finds the cognitive dissonance regarding what "crisis actor" actually means hilarious.

You're wrong.

I see we've entered the intellectually lazy portion of the discussion.

I thought it was lazy when you admitted that you were sending me the first video on youtube you could find, then the first article i read proved your video to be a lie.

The videos I've shown you are news reports, not some bullshit basement 9/11 edit.

You have yet to explain what the big lie is.

Just use your ears. Everything the news man says goes against the quotes of the man who he is claiming said them. Its not rocket science. It's a man posing as a newsman making up facts while they cut in picture of a man who said different things than what the news man said.

So the reporter paraphrasing Castenada makes you believe that Schwab was not killed on the ride?

I'm not even clear on what the grand contradiction is? That he was part of a group of first responders that immediately realized the kid was headless?

He didn't paraphrase him, he changed every important detail.

What is the changed detail that has convinced you Schwab was not killed on the ride?

Which lie made me think the liar was lying?

I'll think about that.

Yes, please think and maybe actually say a single thing resembling evidence that it didn't happen. I can wait.

The lies and lack of evidence leave me unconvinced it did happen.

Do us all a favor and maybe pick a thing.
