On one level I can see why the Baltimore Bridge accident is newsworthy.... the video is oddly compelling & lives were lost.
But, should an accident in Baltmore really be global news - leading on the evening news tonight (and on the top of the FT web-page with a full 'explainer')?
Its the usual case of if it happens in America its news....
Or perhaps wherever a container ship hit a bridge with good video it would be a lead time on the news... maybe not so much.
