Definitely more coverage. Look at the train incident in Ohio. Now it feels like a train derails every other day. When this is actually a common occurrence that wasn’t getting front page news before. Every journalist wants to get the most eyes on what’s currently happening so they report on every event in that topic.

There were 1044 train derailments in 2022. Of course, that also includes all the small ones that don't actually cause accidents.
