4 American tourists dead after building explosion in Greece
The mayor of Athens said the explosion was likely caused by a gas leak.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets agree on an explosion in central Athens near the Acropolis/Plaka and on building collapse or destruction as the core of the story. Sky News and Channel 4 News foreground injuries, with Sky saying at least three were injured and Channel 4 saying at least two; the South China Morning Post is the only outlet to mention two dead and four missing, while the BBC alone adds that local media reported a holiday rental and named US tourists and a UK national among the missing.
