The news is in the record, the record in history, the history tells a sequence images. The YouTube videos on the Tiber have been able to fully describe the news. As was the case Tsunami, the citizen journalism is the master. The traditional means of communication can not be on the news as much as those who experience it directly. If we take stock of what we have seen, remains in the mind the sequence of home movies shot by ordinary people. Before people who turned the video filmed by buses on the streets flooded, then came the ones with the devastated neighborhoods. In Rome there's the sandbags to stem a possible flood Ponte Milvio. Here they are images of the city's bridges that are closed gradually. They wander over the river dozens of twisted trunks mixed with garbage. A barge crashed crumpled between the arches of the Ponte Sant'Angelo, just below the Castle. This time something has happened more than the freak wave disaster: without the tragic ending and fast, the global village has been connected to cover the event, a little 'as the election of Obama. Many people have looked on the web, many have come to document and then put their material online. Others walked along the banks of the Tiber intrigued, but the show was the best expression of those present.
