Footage from plane crash - AIBU?

[HangingOver]

DF visiting me and DP for Xmas. Had just done presents and we were about to head out to walk DDog when the subject of the plane crash came up (think DF was scrolling Mail Online on his phone). All said how awful knowing you're going to plummet to you death. DF says "oh Apparently there's footage from inside the plane before it crashed" and starts watching it on the phone with the sound on. I said "DF don't watch that I don't want to hear it, it's terrible" he, deliberately missing the point says "But it's in a foreign language".

I go out to get my coat and come back, he's still watching it, the voices on the video starting to sound frightened and confused. I said "DF! Turn it OFF it's bloody horrible I don't want to hear it". He says again it's in a foreign language but turns it off. Then says in quite a sneering way "What's WRONG with you?".

For reference DF generally thinks I'm an oversensitive leftie wetwipe.

AIBU to think it's gross and ghoulish to play that in company? Watch it alone if you're desperate to see it.

Dreadful , like the sort of ghoul that watches beheadings on the internet . Why would anyone want to watch someone else’s suffering voluntarily .

I agree that it's ghoulish and suggests a lack of empathy. If you, or another close family member, was in a plane crash, would he want strangers gawping at the footage on their phones?

Awful man, ghoulish and heartless. He's disgusting, sorry.

When is he going home? Count down the hours til he's gone.

I don't think it's necessarily ghoulish to watch it, by yourself during your normal catching-up-with-news time. I've seen it, and apparently the guy who filmed it and is shown praying survived the crash. Some people are calling it a miracle.

What is pretty terrible is doing this in company on Christmas Day, when you've been invited to someone's house. But I recognise the type from OP's description.

Absolutely dreadful. What’s he going to do for an encore? Look up some beheading videos?

YANBU.

I would object even to a horror movie played loudly in that situation. Some things are significantly more intense when you hear them without watching.

This being the real thing, you should have a choice whether you want to see it and under what circumstances.

Could never understand people who gawk st awful accidents ( fatalities) either.
Just avert your eyes.

Unless someone is an emergency worker, there is no need to gawk and make a running commentary.

If one can help potentially save someone, do so of course.

Rubbernecking is awful.

Rubber necking is a PITA. I had it on a dual carriageway once. Road other side closed due to a crash, and a car in front of me just suddenly decidided to slow down to what felt like a crawl. Thankfully I'd realised and there was nothing overtaking. Could have been another bloody accident otherwise.

Well I'm old school, and think anyone playing anything on speaker in the company of others without their enthusiastic participation, is a selfish arsehole.

Thanks all, glad I'm not overreacting. I don't know what's got into him.

I’d not be inviting him again until his attitude changes.

No it's not right using people dying as entertainment

I don't know about ghoulish watching it on your own but yes I think it's completely insensitive to watch it full volume for others to hear people suffering when they understandably don't want to hear it. Then rude to ask what's wrong with you. No, what's wrong with him?!

I don't think you are being over sensitive at all! What an idiot.

No, there's nothing nice or entertaining about this situation. I couldn't watch the tv footage from Sept 11 with people leaping out as it was obvious what the l outcome for them would be.

Surely you have to be a psychopath to enjoy watching people in their death throes?!
