The larger article was on which states allowed you to collect rainwater; the CDC thing was because rainwater might contain germs. The fact that all the plants in the garden were currently being watered by the rain did not cross the reporter's mind. The actual CDC article. quote:Avoid using rainwater for drinking, cooking, brushing your teeth, or rinsing or watering plants that you intend to eat. Instead, use municipal tap water if it is available, or purchase bottled water for these purposes. They're worrying that rainwater collected from the roof could have been contaminated with roof materials, germs, squirrel poop, and so on. However, it is pretty terrible for the environment to be using human-potable water to water vegetables if you have collected rainwater available. I wouldn't think this was as silly if they said "don't water plants you eat uncooked" or equivalent, but that butternut squash is going straight into the oven and the skin's not going to be eaten.

Attempted murder — the most serious charge against the Alaska Air pilot— requires proof of an intent to kill, which may be difficult if the defendant was high on mushrooms.
