The haze is palpable |
So the big day finally arrives and it just happens to be one of the most atmospheric polluted days in Portland history. Trimet decides to go ahead with their silly fireworks production. (branding the bridge into peoples brains) Unfortunately many citizens took offense to Trimet going ahead with this.There are dozens of tweets about it. You can check my feed if you want to see how many people objected but it was a lot. Below the break are the best tweets about this.
If it was anybody else but Trimet setting fireworks off during a smoke filled drought they would be arrested.

@trimet how f'ing tone deaf can you possibly be?! The sky is filled with wildfire smoke, we're in the middle of a drought and you're

Really disrespectful of @trimet to have a lame promotional fireworks show when the #PDX air quality has already been deemed hazardous.

yes, #trimet, double that particulate matter in the middle of a dead air spot trapping HISTORICALLY high pollution in PDX. YAY FIREWORKS. ;p

Guess #trimet hasn't read the studies that say fireworks displays push particulate matter to levels we are currently seeing as UNSAFE

Portland is celebrating unsafe air quality levels by lighting off fireworks this evening. pic.twitter.com/KeAU3U8pZ7
