What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the same broad event at Six Flags in Georgia and on the fact that one person died while others were injured. BBC News leads with witnesses’ reactions, while The Guardian US instead foregrounds aerial footage and says Six Flags temporarily closed nine rollercoasters across six parks; that closure detail appears only in the Guardian extract.
