As someone who lives locally to said Sycamore, it's quite surreal to me that this has made such widespread news.
It's a nice image and completely senseless that someone would destroy it. The story creates a universal "WTF?" reaction from everyone.
No people died, so it's a story that isn't morbid, no debates about anything political, it's just pure WTF so it's a simple story for news companies around the world to pick up.
