In other news. A factory fire in Hull, England received nothing more than local news coverage this week. Their product? Hand sanitizer. Turns out that 99% alcohol is really flamible.
I wonder why there's such a huge disparity in news coverage between these two stories. I guess it's because the building was evacuated successfully, right?
I think you're correct. In South Korea at least 22 people died. The article you linked doesn't mention any casualties (or I didn't notice them).
I think when if it would have been evacuated in time there would still be news coverage
People just love reading and therefore clicking stories that tell them that electric cars are bad and they should just continue buying gas powered vehicles instead of considering a change
Same as with that tanker that burned out on the coast of the Netherlands with some EVs on board
A lot of stories where covering it in a way that implied the fire was because of those EVs when in the end the level where they were stored was among the very few that was still intact - but that didn't make the news...
