And it's created, you know, some friction, frankly, in the community.

Yeah, I think polarizing is the correct word here.

We spoke to people who are dramatically affected by what happened here.

But yet they're still very careful in how they describe what happened and whether they think there's any blame.

And if so, where it should be.

People are very, very careful.

But when you talk to them, you start to hear where they stand.

on whether the camp should be reopened and on accountability and responsibility in this.

So there's clearly this polarization, but there's also this sense of tread carefully when we talk about it.

I was, yeah, I'll be honest, I was a little surprised.

You know, I thought just given the fact that, you know, the changes have come slowly, I thought you'd see more people wanting to sit out, if nothing else, sit out to camp this year.

But, you know, I think people...

Also, some people want a sense of normalcy and they want to be able to recognize and grieve as they have.

But a lot of people take the position that we have to find a way to move on.

and find some touchstone and some normalcy.

So I think that accounts for some of the divide you're seeing and how people are reacting to it.

Of course, we know that the Eastlands, the company has filed for bankruptcy reorganization, which suggests that reorganization is opposed to other options that might permanently close the camp.

This suggests that they plan to reopen again at some point.

It also, according to lawyers for some of the families,

gives them an opportunity to, in their estimation, to evade responsibility because it essentially puts a pause on the lawsuits for an indefinite amount of time.
