It reminds me of the train derailment stories last year, soon after the disastrous one in Ohio. Trains apparently derail quite often, but it was on everyone’s mind, so any outlet that posted about a more mundane derailment was rewarded with clicks.

Precisely this. There's a thousand train derailments in the US annually; most incredibly minor. For a few weeks they all made the news.
