Found a deleted post about a 2019 factory fire in Ohio that got taken down

I was looking up old news articles for a project and found a cached version of a local forum post from Cincinnati. Someone had shared photos of smoke damage from a chemical plant fire that happened five years ago, but the original post vanished within a day. The user said they were told it was 'bad for business' to keep it up. Has anyone else seen a local story get scrubbed like that?

Local news sites get bought up by big companies all the time. Those new owners kill stories that make their other business partners look bad. It's not just about one post, it's about who owns the website now. Check if that forum got bought by a media group around that time.

Kill stories" is putting it nicely. More like corporate memory hole.
