    Yep, this sort of thing happened when the New Palestine train derailment happened. For a month or so after it happened all you heard about was how another train derailed even though it’s (unfortunately) very common in the US and statistically multiple of them happen every single day. It’s not like trains just started derailing out of nowhere, it was always happening, it’s just that the media found something new that gets them clicks and keeps rolling with it.
