One morbid, but effective, use of social media is real-time coverage of disasters, accidents, and other sudden destructive events.
For a touring artist, there’s not much worse you can get than a tour bus going down in flames – which is exactly what happened to Miley Cyrus late Monday night.
On her way to a concert in New Orleans, a tire on her tour bus burst into flames. This led to the entire bus getting engulfed and burning to a crisp – but everyone aboard the bus, including Miley, her mother and her sister Noah, escaped the bus without injury.
Noah broke the story and kept fans updated by live-tweeting the bus fire, and posting a series of Instagram videos.
And of course, all of the flames and sirens made peeps on social media jump straight to “OMG literally EVERYONE is dead!” But Noah assured everyone that nobody got hurt.
The bus, though…The bus had a bad night.
