The first report I read said wedding party. Did not even mention the bystanders that were killed. IMO exceptionally bad "reporting" on this horrible accident.
That’s sort of an unreasonable expectation, imo. Nobody instantly knows how many or names victims during a mass casualty event of this magnitude.
Police won’t even release that info to the press until it’s been confirmed. I’m confused as to why you see that as a problem.
Looking at photos from the scene, it isn’t surprising at all, to me, that the info wasn’t immediately available.
And if you’re reading a wire story, it might be 15+ hours old, despite what time it was posted to the news website. The first story many read might not actually be the most recent or updated story.
Holy lord. Please know that I’m certainly not here to argue with anyone. I’m just stating facts.
It’s a developing news story.
First responders, police, etc. — their priority is to get the situation under control, not to tell the media everything. That part happens after LE and first responders get the scene secured, can safely start treating victims, put out fires, secure deceased victims, etc., etc., and start sorting things out.
Anyone who can imagine how chaotic and confusing traumatic scenes like this really are, I hope, would understand this.
