Good job you are a welshman otherwise you would have an extra helping of 'telling off' 
You are assuming I am Welsh................
As for the Towers, I have a cousin who stood outside and watched as people jumped and died in front of him as they landed. The conversation was enough, I would turn over.

Honorary Welshman then 
My point about the towers is that footage could be similarly be deemed as a "snuff movie" as you put it and yet we are about to endure the annual portrayal of them dropping ...so I could ask whats the difference ? Powered by TorqTune

Voyeuristic. And on the TV you tend to get "some viewers may find the following images upsetting".
Certainly peed on my previously cheerful Saturday evening. Carbon footprint? I neither know nor give a damn

There's a dad cat around here somewhere, and curiousity is the main suspect. Carbon footprint? I neither know nor give a damn

OK ...it's obvious that this video is causing some offence ...even though all you can see is some lumps of metal coming together at some distance

As is your right to post your snuff movie (and mine to criticise you for doing it), it is the TV companies right to show the Towers footage (and mine to turn over or off).
However if memory serves me right several of the British TV companies have said they won't show the footage again?

Well. That went well.
BTW: The lesson I got from the vid was that you never have as much control over your life as you think you have. Rather humbling.

You should never learn from such appalling visuals rob
BTW....if it's a 'snuff movie' ...the lorry driver must have pre-arranged it for the benefit of the camera ...no? Therefore it's murder Powered by TorqTune

Actually, there is a line of enquiry in the Italian press involving the Polish lorry driver having had some sort of argument with the driver of the camper van (who is OK). The implication was that he may have swerved on purpose and it all went wrong. I don't know how much of this has been made up by the press, but if there is anything in it then that would be murder!
