The car and bridge one, is an example of “human interest” news, which some reporters, and news channels, try very hard to push for (“after seeing your son ripped to shreds and your husband fall into a volcano… tell us, how did that make you feel?”). Call me a monster, but I don’t care about that. Or rather, I already know that they’ll feel devastated, no need to rub it in.
Is there news out there that does not worry about the stability of bridges after such events?
Unfortunately, yes. There are whole news channels which, as soon as they get done with one emotional trigger news, they switch to the next one.
The article is oversensationalized, but it does hide a grain of truth: avoid that kind of sources, and you’ll be better off.
