The '5G towers kill birds' clip from that birdwatching forum, debunked in 20 minutes
Saw a viral video claiming 5G radiation was dropping pigeons mid-flight outside a mall in Ohio, and after 20 minutes of checking the actual tower permits and a wildlife vet's post, it turned out to be a hawk attack caught on a blurry camera. Anyone else find that most 'radiation' panic posts end up being something way simpler with a quick source check?

...and the funny thing is the same clip had been circulating for years claiming it was chemtrails one time and wind turbines the next. I think I spent more time scrolling through the replies than actually checking the facts, because the answer really was just a hawk with bad aim and a parking lot full of pigeons that never learned to look up. That's usually how it goes with these panic posts, the simpler explanation is hiding in plain sight if you bother to look past the scary headline and the 240p video. What gets me is how many people in that thread were ready to torch some poor tower tech before anyone even asked if the store had a security cam from a better angle. A quick look at the weather report that day would've shown it was windy enough to knock a pigeon off balance anyway, but nobody wanted to click past the first comment.
