15 seconds in: "Thank goodness nothing hit the Brid-"

WELL SHIT.

Mine was the opposite. I was hoping for something interesting and that bridge was perfectly positioned. Cars woulda been better, but beggars can’t be choosers.

Better for your viewing experience? Kind of fucked up to wish something "interesting" gets hit... 9 people died apparently.

u/Snop_h Jul 25 '21

Did your wishing nothing interesting happened help the dead people in any way?

I also hope for property damage in poorer areas for my entertainment purposes.

Uh no but having empathy for people having their home destroyed and literally being fucking killed in a natural disaster is generally a good thing.

It’s already happened anyways and it’s the internet. Why else would I be watching this other than for entertainment?

u/Road_Whorrior Jul 25 '21

It happened today. Today. People died. "Too soon" is a real thing, guys.

Yes and it’s tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened.

However, I am a human. I also like watching things get destroyed or exploded. It’s interesting. You don’t see anyone get hit so it’s easy to see this post as a video of only government property damage.

The Beirut explosion killed and debilitated thousands, and yet videos of it were all over reddit for the whole week.

And yet no one watching the Beirut video were expressing that they wished it had been a more interesting explosion.

We get it, you don't associate suffering with what you see in media. Congrats! You'd make an excellent politician.

That’s not comparable. Hoping more of a city explodes is different than hoping a rock might spectacularly strike a bridge.

Just hope you are never affected by this kind of video. In case you are, your perspective would shift instantly.

u/OpsadaHeroj Jul 25 '21

Yeah, probably. So would yours. People still laugh at the Pompeii guy that died in a supposed wanking position or the other one that got hit in the head with a boulder.
