Thanks for the info. And no, you're just looking way too into what I said lol.

It legitimately looks sepia filtered. On a near similar photo showing damage which has pretty vibrant colors everywhere including the ocean. The ash and or filter makes much of the colorization look exactly like someone put a snap filter on it to make it look worse than the already terrible event it is, as if it needed a more grim look to popularize the picture. If they did end up applying a filter, I doubt it needed it, and may even look worse without one.

Trying to spread this weird implied false flag shit out of nowhere is literal insanity, Rashnet lol.
