I haven't watched it myself, but what does it say about us that most major news stations have been continuously playing this footage? It just seems trivial to do that. Surely they can get the point across about what happened and be respectful to the family by choosing not to show a video of a man horrifically crashing to his death. I swear there's just a lack of respect and decency in our culture these days.
