Spanish television also showed more footage of people falling from buildings on 9-11 and one of the American Spanish networks had a tabloid program that showed a guy murdering a woman (with a gun to the back of the head) while she visited someone's grave and spoke with the camera crew.

Mexico celebrates the dead. There are magazines devoted to car crashes.
