In Albania, there are currently forest fires. 15 people were killed in a Gas Explosion in North Korea. An explosion ripped through a Chinese chemical factory. Fires have broken out in Ajman (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Iran. The World Trade Centre in Belgium had a fire too. It's so sad that the world is slowly burning away. It's quite scary too.
The mainstream media still don't show it.

Accidents happen all the time. It is the job of the media to filter relevant events from the noise. There is no news story when you end up in the hospital, but there is one when the president does.

Everything you have listed are minor accidents. They are extremely undesirable, and the loss of life is tragic, but that hardly equates to the world burning away. Forest fires happen all the time, and it's partially our fault for using fire suppression to stall. This may be a cynical take, but there are several billion people on the planet and small things like this simply aren't big enough to matter very much.

15 people dying in an accident is a local tragedy, not international news
