You mean show them now? I think there will come a time when these disasters are shown side by side with stats and all. Horriffic, both.

Why not show the 9/11 plane attacks? I gusess they don't want us to remember it.

As Darryl Worely (sp?) noted in his "Have You Forgotten" song.

But I've got to tip my hat (a bit) to USA Today.
I think it was at the second anniversary of 9-11, they ran a good article on this topic.
They admitted that they AND virtually all the media had self-censored by not
showing the "jumper" pics very often (if at all).

The article included one photo of a string of five or six jumpers in a line
falling from one of the towers. And the article documented how the jumpers
from one tower were the prod that got people out of the neighboring tower
and to safety (despite instructions to stay in the building).

The media/entertainment industry is ready to show us all sorts of objectionable things...
as long as the images aren't the real world.
