A lot of views from general population rather than being buried.

Are you suggesting such incidents should not be reported on or captured?

The person got paid to grant exclusive rights to the videos to CNN, this wasn't just posting to social media to spread the word.

Source they got paid?

Ok and? CNN acquired the video and reported on it. They didn't hide or destroy it.

The NTSB provided the footage. Nothing further was required.

bro, no one is suggesting we should keep plane crashes secret, but yeah I do find it a little distasteful to turn on the TV and see the moment hundreds of people were killed.

Distasteful? I understand that sentiment for the family, but we should all be exposed to the horrors of these lapses. It’s exceedingly rare that you are ever subjected to the bodily carnage, and I’m reminded of when we ceased broadcasting footage of soldiers’ caskets coming home due to it dissuading popular opinion toward war.

90% of what is shown on a news channel is negative. Everything is driven by fear in that industry.

You can't turn on a news channel and expect to feel good.
