Context in 1969 the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland caught fire at just the right time to be covered in the same time magazine that covered the moon landing sparking calls for action that manifested into the clean drinking act and the EPA.
What is less talked about is that Cuyahoga had caught fire many times before hand but they never got attention until the fire of 69.

By 1969, the City of Cleveland had seen 11 river fires. At that same time, they had only seen 1 losing season for their Browns.
