Over here is the only link I have to anything concerning a recent wrong-way crash near Austin, Texas. Four people were killed. I find it remarkable that even local newspapers sometimes do not remark on such crashes.
My Google-fu is weak. Does anyone have a link to a newspaper report on this crash? Many thanks.
The dateline on your cite is Feb 19 2016. The people in the vid are bundled up like it’s Feb in Texas, not early September.
I suspect there’s some date confusion here. Or you cited a different article than you meant to.
That crash occurred on February 19th:
ETA: Ninja’d
Thank you. I appreciate the link.
Oddly enough, the date is often omitted from journalist “datelines,” with the location being the more crucial part. “Dateline Berlin: Nazis win election,” for example.
And, in my post, I forgot to include the year, thus definitively confirming your point 
What I really hate are modern news sites which put today’s date on each page they display. So when you do find genuinely old news, all evidence of when it really happened is lost.
Agreed, and it seems to be the predominant way of presenting news these days. It probably marginally boosts long tail readership at the expense of making news websites less readable and less informative.
@Paul_was_in_Saudi , can you tell us how this article came to your attention and why you thought it was current? I’m curious because you are doing your due diligence as a consumer of news to become better informed about what you are reading. Most people don’t go that far so they will read an article about some inflammatory news, like let’s say crime rates in New York. Then, their various algorithms will feed them more outdated “news” about crime in New York, which further feeds their distorted world view that crime rates in big cities are exploding. All of a sudden, militarized occupation of big cities over there looks more and more reasonable.
I do various searches on various sites. Sometimes I get lucky. In this case, the only mention I found of this case was the film clip I posted. Further, there was no narration. Not a lick of good information.
The Internet promises us everything will be remembered. That just not true. In the modern age, just as in the paper age, even major events are sometimes misplaced.
I never took the adage the Internet is forever to be literal — more like treat anything you post with the assumption that it will last forever, just in case. Of course stuff gets misfiled and disappears.
Remembered but not necessarily dated correctly.
