Assuming their explanation was true:
1. Wouldn’t the methane disperse in the air?
2. Wouldn’t there be more than one human casualty?
3. Wouldn’t this have happened in the past?
4. Wouldn’t farmers (and shitwagon folks) KNOW to watch out for this - especially with the large bovine population?
5. Should the USDA and related federal alpha-bit agencies be all over these guys by now?
Sorry, but to mem, the cause if this doesn’t hold water.
HOWEVER, that guy that monitors military air traffic (youtube >> monkeywerx) has been reporting air re-fuelers in this area for sometime - indicated the existence of fighter jets and other military activity in this area. A connection? Who knows.
just my $0.02.

Doing this from my phone, so please bear with me...
1) the pits are underground. If properly ventilated, no problem. If the fans were underperforming....
2) most feeding and milking operations are automatic, with the livestock coming in to get cleaned, fed and milked when they feel like it.
3) it has on smaller operations.
4) hired hands are mostly older kids and young adults.
5) who do you think investigated and wrote the report.
I know bad things are going on right now, but sometimes a horrible accident is just that.
Farming is inherently dangerous work.
People die and property and equipment is destroyed every year.
