How does Wikipedia update so quickly?

I have noticed more than once that, for example, some event happened somewhere in the world, and after 5-7 minutes all articles that are somehow connected with one of the participants in that event are updated. For example, there are a hundred articles on some historical process that has not yet ended, and if an airplane crashes somewhere, then all 100 will immediately add this fact in 3-5 minutes.
Or some memorable football match has just ended and immediately again in 3-7 minutes all articles with all the biographies of distinguished players, coaches and statistics will be updated. Although the statistics are understandable.
And after all, Wikipedia is written by the users themselves and even for nothing, how do they make amendments so quickly? Or that in Russia there are tens of thousands of people who keep their fingers on the trigger in the court for 24 hours?
