There's some sick people around- taking photos of accident victims to post on the net


Recommended Posts

there is a difference between photojounalists taking pics to document events for news items and people taking pics for their own benefit. im a photographer and totally understand why people might take these pics, BUT if you were the man in the accident would you really want every tom, dick and harry taking photos of you when you were scared and in pain?

 

A lot of the phots in the media aren't taken by journalists sent to be there, just people with cameras who were passing.

..........

 

The pictures posted on here where of a damaged bus, no one was in it when the photo was taken .........

 

That's not quite true though. Is it?

 

If you look at photo "smash2" on the 'flickr' site, you cannot see the driver but it would appear to be during the removal process with emergency personel around him inside the bus.

Only just read the article, what an awful thing to do. Did these people just walk up and take a photo and then walk off ? Surely they were potentially disturbing what could have been (and thankfully not) the scene of a fatality.

 

The police should have arrested them.

this is taken from the newspaper article:

 

MOBILE phone users have been slammed for taking photos of a seriously injured driver as he lay trapped in the wreckage of a bus - and posting crash pictures on the internet.

 

so it looks as though people WERE taking pics of the driver.

 

Or people were taking photos of the bus, such as in the other SF thread, and it's been spun that they were taking them of the driver. It's only a slight distortion and it does make a great story.......

Needless to say members of this forum posted links to pictures of the incident,how good does that make you feel?

 

I work alongside both of the drivers involved,and one I know very well the actions of the public are what can only be described as pathetic and it sickens me.

What is worse is that none of them offered to help the trapped driver,again pathetic and twisted individuals.
