To wish they would stop showing footage of the Egyptian balloon going up in flames

I find it really upsetting, there were people dying terrible deaths on board and their friends and families must be devastated. Seeing their final moments repeated continually on the news seems unnecessary and cruel for the families.

I wouldn't expect the news to show repeated footage of a fatal car accident.

3000 people lost their lives in 9/11. How many time do we (and therefore the families of the victims) see footage of the planes hitting and the towers collapsing?

I agree SuckingDiesel - it's something I have tried to avoid watching in the years since 2011.

I thought this this morning. BBC weren't showing footage but there were plenty of gory details. Why can't they say- balloon crash, several people died, end of?
