fun fact: the Environmental Protection Agency was created after Cuyahoga River caught fire for the thirteenth time
not because a river caught fire
because it caught fire for the THIRTEENTH TIME and caused $50,000 in damages
in 1969 Time reported that the river “oozes rather than flows” and said that a person “does not drown but decays” in the water
oh look it’s the river Ankh
