NJ Transit train crash: 1 dead, 108 injured at Hoboken station

“I saw a woman pinned under concrete,” Shah told NBC New York. “A lot of people were bleeding; one guy was crying.”

I was very upset by this story but even more troubled that a parallel story about Beyonce bleeding onstage after an earring mishap was trending higher than the Hoboken story. Logically, I should not be so upset. The only connection is the Google algorithm that ‘argues’ the importance of Beyonce uber alles. I suppose it is the same kind of problem I have with the human journalistic algorithm that says “if it bleeds, it leads”. I have an anti-filter that opposes this. so…I created a screencast about ‘people bleeding’ that shows why I am upset. A woman pinned under concrete should not get less attention than a celebrity bleeding from a nasty, but in no way life-threatening, earring ‘malfunction’.
