Thanks for your comments guys. It struck me some years ago how desensitised we become about events that are happening around the world. This was brought home by the Vietnam war which was the first war to be so widely reported, warts and all right into our homes. How easily we switch off!

very good. cant really add much to davids comment. as a society we consume news in much the same way we consume the x factor or strictly and, sadly, it is created for us in much the same way.

A very fine rendition of the human condition Martin. I recall that photograph, full of frozen motion and horror.
Unfortunately, there is a curiosity in the nature of humans that says - thank God it was not me. I think that is the gut reaction - then to try to civilize the reaction . That is the true horror as I see it. More than that I can't honestly say.
