Used to work in an office overlooking this bridge. When a crash happened all work ceased and we’d gather around a window to gawk at the accident. Sometimes it felt like they came in clusters.
Interestingly random events like this do tend to cluster. There are lots of arrangements where clusters exist and very few where it doesn't, so clustering is a lower entropy state. Plane crashes are similar.
