It seams so strange to hate people who you don't agree with.

Here is a video of someone looking over 9 miles of water to vantage bridge, with a camera 7 inches over the water.

I watched it. Maybe I’m dumb but can you explain to me?
Globe earth math says there should be 44 feet of curvature. He was nice enough to make a video of what you are looking at, here is vantage bridge at the west end.

I could be mistaken but I believe the claim is the curvature is about 15 miles. As well I think sitting multiple things like this up with constant feeds to the internet where people can view and discuss it would be helpful.
As useful as the video may seem it really needs more. How do we know how far away they viewing? Some people maybe familiar with that view I am not at all. I could not tell you if it was 9 mile or 900 feet. Just being honest.
This is why setting up something like a laser and reflector would be helpful. This is done to measure the distance to the moon. A laser would also be more precise in measuring how level the surface is.
Viewing location is near sunland boat launch. Viewing location coordinates are 47.068, -120.025. Wanapum Lake, Washington State, USA. August 18, 2019.
I just did a duckduckgo video search and this laser test came up. 10 miles over water, 7 feet height of the laser. At Tacoma Washington State.
