Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

Tbf, I saw the early videos coming from X (and I'm not on X)

I first saw it on YouTube when a local TV station posted the raw video.

I wasn't looking at any other media at the time.

i heard about it first in an ibxtoycat video (on his second channel)

I heard about it from television news. I normally only watch TV broadcasts between the time when I turn the TV on and launching an app / turning a HDMI device on. Which is not very long. Does Elon have any idea how unlikely it is for me to pick major news this way?

Thankfully Mastodon seems to be doing a good job at providing news like this for me. I first saw it the morning it happened because I had to approve the trending link that a lot of people were posting.
