It's been so many years there was not an "internet" available to the general public.

Each year, I look on the net to see what's around for information on the crash. Each year is different. There's an increasing amount of info added each year.

I just accidentally clicked upon a photo gallery, when I thought I was clicking on a link to the remainder of an article.

WHY?

Why must they show all kinds of photos?

I don't even want to talk/write about the types of photos I saw today. I am concerned about hurting someone else.

Do they have any idea of what it's like for families?
I was a child when the headlines were all about this, at first coverage was 24/7, with ongoing footage and photos. It was the largest plane tragedy to date at the time it had happened, so it was big news. Yet, what about the families?

I am definitely not naïve about it all. I have, in the past, talked with rescue workers and with family members of (deceased) rescue workers. I have read a lot about all of it, including legal briefs. My best friend is an FAA licensed jet inspector.

WHY all kinds of photos then and ... WHY now, this many years later, as well?
Some of those photos are just not necessary in order to document the event properly/fully.

I am not advocating for ignorance.
I am advocating for compassion for families/survivors of these tragic events.

I am at a loss for words right now, sorry.
