I think it is good to show everything because we need to wake people up and let them know just how quick life can end.To me people are just becoming numb to everyday life.Everyone seems to enjoy when people get killed on tv shows right?Seems like thats all thats on tv anymore is murder shows and violence.What has happen to our nation?Are there any clean shows for the family to watch togeather anymore?
i agree. i watched the news about 10 min after the accident occurred and although it was covered, its rather disturbing and disrespectful. I know that something could have been done to keep that from being shown. This was a sad accident and I pray for all the families.
I think it is very poor taste to show the body of the deceased on television. Although it was covered by a sheet, there is a certain level of respect due and just mentioning that it was a fatality is enough. We do not need to see a covered corpse for dramatic effect.
