1. Approximately 70 deaths during Flint’s water crisis may have gone uncounted. to.pbs.org/303fSZT
2. At least 20 confirmed Legionnaires’ patients who initially survived their diagnosis later died of causes commonly linked to the disease. to.pbs.org/30bD9om
3. The public wasn’t notified about the deadly outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease for more than a year — and neither were most medical professionals. to.pbs.org/304HMAs
4. Officials rebuffed advice from the CDC to test the water. to.pbs.org/2ZN21Xp
5. Members of a scientific team say the state repeatedly tried to impede their efforts to identify the source of the Legionnaires’ outbreak. to.pbs.org/30b2WwR
6. The day after members of the team warned at a public meeting in 2016 that they were finding legionella bacteria in residents’ water filters, the team leader said an aide to the governor threatened funding for his university. to.pbs.org/2ZRbmNT
7. Before Flint’s water supply was changed, the operations supervisor at the city’s water plant warned that “people are gonna die.” to.pbs.org/30bDAz0
8. It’s still unclear whether anyone will ever be held accountable. to.pbs.org/2ZUECTR
