It's just a matter of access and technology. Why did we see so many horrific images of Vietnam but not WWII? More than anything else, access and technology.
And to you base question.....yes, we all secretly revel in disaster/mayhem. Watching the Gladiators of ancient Rome isn't much different than watching a "Smart" missile fly into the side of a building.
