Pileup on the A1 in Germany near Cloppenburg today. Reports in german media speak of one dead. Only english source seems to be MSNBC, which claims three dead, citing a Telegraph article from november 2011. In three hours they still haven't corrected their misstake. It's journalism 2.0 kids. Pictures. Also Spectre, no talk of Texas this time.
Sort-of reliable German source (traditionally at least): http://www.focus.de/panorama/videos...zte-bei-karambolage-auf-der-a1_vid_29308.html
They say dozens injured, two seriously injured. No word on deaths. Potential cause was a snow shower.
Quote the guy at 1:20: "I was doing 150 when I hit a wall of snow"
Regional, serious news: http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/ndr_aktuell/media/ndraktuell7575.html
They say six seriously injured, nobody life-threatening, nobody dead. There was an accident, then a sleet shower happened, and coming traffic failed to stop for the existing accident, causing the pileup.
