i was listening to this story on the way to work this morning and some idiot decided to say that the plane crashed into shark infested waters, not very reassuring to families in hope of some chance of survival or the fact that not only do they have to deal with the loss of their loved ones but now have to dwell on the thought that their remains are being devoured!
who cares what part of the ocean they crashed into, last thing people want to know is its infested with sharks!
some people need a violent shake!
Unfortunately the world we live in now has little room for sensitivity (TechKing members excluded).
News is only news now if it is gruesome & the more gory it is the better.
There's no point in reporting that a motorist was killed on the Motorway, you would need to report it as, A motorist has died in a collision on the Motorway, his head was found in a field 50 meters away & his arm went through the windshield of another vehicle. There was blood everywhere & services report it will take days to remove all traces of blood.
What saddens me most of all is that nothing appears to have the ability to shock us anymore?
No matter how catastrophic an incident is, it is old hat within hours & everyone is waiting for the next big news break.
Sad world now, really.
