but when that happens they're usually way out

I remember that train disaster where original reports were claiming about 150 dead and it turned out to be about 20. Or 9/11 where about 5,000 were claimed in early reports but it ended up being less tha 3,000. Such reports are invariably overestimates and spread more panic etc.
