Diana crash photos? Would you look?

[UCM]

I know it sounds terribly morbid but I would. Don't know why.

No I wouldn't. Vile.

No I wouldn't either.

Not even vaguely interested and think it is sick to publish them. This imo is the lowest form of "journalism". Gross.

Words fail me, but in essence NO.

no I wouldnt, I don't see it as being anything newsworthy... I'd be appalled if it were my parent plastered all over the papers.

no i wouldnt look but can imagine that there are plenty of voyeuristic people who will...the same type that slow down to have a look at road traffic accidents.

i cant even begin to imagine why anypne would want to look at pics of a dying women.

pictures of war are different tohugh aren't they???

Dying in a car crash is not the same as the death and damage wreaked by war....

i wouldnt look, not because its diana, just because its a human, dont feel the need to see someone fatally injured.

i know what ucm means though, but I'd apply it to looking at a pic of anyone dying - i find it horrifyingly compulsive, looking at someone who is alive but that you know is now dead. i think it's to do with my thoughts/fears about death really - one minute you are living, breathing and a person, the next you aren't 'you' anymore. so if i'm being honest i probably would look, just as i'd look at any other photo of someone dying. i'm not proud of admitting this. i think it's maybe a cross between people's fascination with death crossed with the fascination of celebrity?

Thank gawd someone else would look. I thought I was the most warped woman on MN for a minute. I asked my NDN if she would and she said no as well and seemed to think I was strange. To me, it's not like a real person IYKWIM as I definitely don't slow down to rubber neck at car accidents. Just fascinated by the life/death thing...you can send for the men in white coats now ok.

I googled yesterday. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Didnt find anything.

I was so involved at the time - I ran the PR for one of the charities she languidly endorsed, and spent the week after her death in the eye of a media storm - that I probably would, actually.

LMAO at langudly endorsed.

god yes I would

probably feel a bit sick afterwards though

I havent gone as far as googling as I am not that bothered but would have no problem looking

I want to look for the same reasons as UCM however I have no intention of actually doing so, mainly out of respect for her sons. I have lost my parents and could think of nothing worse than having this dragged up 9 years later and would be sickened to think that people were looking.

I'd find it hard not to look, so I understand what you mean UCM. Although the fact that the photographers took them in the first place makes me see red.

just looked, black and white and grainy. Not too grim.

I've already seen them

Yes I would and yes I have. I would look at any similar pictures, the fact that they are of Diana is meaningless to me. I have been known to stare at length and with total fascination at pictures of dead people, mainly those police shots you see accompanying a magazine article about violent deaths. (I remember one article decades ago about people who apparently died from spontaneous combustion - weird and gruesome I admit.

We live in a world so completely separated from death, yet it will happen to all of us one day (hopefully not violently). Anyway, I find that is why I am drawn to look at pictures such as that, because I want to know more about something that will happen to me one day.

I'd look.
To my mind birth and death are two sides of the same coin.
Most of you would have no qualms at looking at pictures of someone giving birth I presume,so it really interests me that you would be so against looking at pictures of someones death.
Far too much taboo surrounding death in our culture.

No, I won't. In fact, I won't look at any photos that I know in advance will show person or animal dying. To me that shouldn't be something that gets printed except w/the person in question's permission - such as the case of a Dutch man who wanted his euthanasia death televised so people could judge for themselves whether it should be considered a crime.

EVERYONE is loved by someone and deserves the same respect. Animals, too, IMO.
