I see your point but do not agree. What the media sometimes fails to appreciate is that a lot of people do not WANT to see footage of ANY of the above. Just because you can, doesn’t mean that you should. If you don’t see anything wrong with it, then it may be that you’re looking at it the wrong way?
As you can tell, I’m firmly in the ‘you can tell us, but we don’t need to see it’ group. I believe that I’m not alone.
A guy once told me: “Everybody loves a car crash”.
If people are personally far away from any relationship towards the aircraft, pilot, car, car driver or anything else involved in a crash, it’s my experience that people wanna see the aftermath of such an event. It sells. Just like sex. It gets different when an individual have a personal relationship to either persons or vehicles involved. I avoided seeing the Hurricane crash on youtube the first days after the accident because it would be too hard to see an aircraft go down I have a personal relationship gow down like that. To even know the pilot would be harder than I can imagine.
But for most people in England or in Europe they have no specific relationship to the Hurricane, the pilot or anything else involved and would like to see just what is going on. As horrible as it may seem, the Hurricane crash impacted me on a mental level much more than the Pukhet crash. It may be horrible, but it’s the way it is with humans. I don’t think anyone on this forum wanted to even take a peak at the Hurri crash on youtube because we’re all mentally involved in it one way or another.
