Everybody is talking about it.
You can feel the terror in the communication between the pilot and the control tower.
While it was a quick death, the moments before the crash must have been horrifying.
RIP all the crew.

Indeed.
Though the question that arises is should such footage be aired on TV and social media.
Entertainment or not.
You "felt the terror" but can you honestly say that you didn't enjoy the feeling of terror.

Wtf are you talking bout? I listened to it only once.
It was more painful to know that there was an entire family in the crew, the parents, two kids and the nanny. I'm really sorry for it.
It should be painful to anyone hearing the communication.
Yep great stuff, but my primary question remained unanswered, because you preferred to elaborate my secondary question for dramatic purposes.
So should the dramatic death of a family be aired on TV and social media as entertainment?...Because there was nothing factually necessary for the wider audience to gain, only macabre entertainment, which by definition is obviously enjoyed as such....Aren't "Feeling the terror" and "It was painful to watch" just facile justification for your enjoyment of the macabre...In all honesty, it was aired on BBC news and I saw it, and I was neither pained nor terrorised...I made a flippant comment to my wife and carried on eating my dinner....In fact, news programmes tend to be mostly a series of macabre clips and details of crashes, murders, rapes, bombings and general human anguish, finished off with an obligatory feel good article...Vital information or temporary entertainment?

Well, most TV channels advice discretion to the viewers which means the content can be shocking. It's not just the audio, it's also the crash video that is fkn disturbing. I was adviced and I saw it anyway out of curiosity and not out of entertainment. I remark that because not everyone looks for entertainment in the news. For entertainment, I watch movies and TV series.
But let's talk about if it's necessary to show violent events on TV. Some studies suggest that for people to avoid risky events they need to watch the terrible consequences of those events. So, for example, if you want to reduce car accidents on the road the government usually announces TV commercials showing a story about an imbecil going fast on the road and having a terrible accident. For the TV commercial to take effect, it needs to show how the driver suffers in the accident, maybe it shows how he's crushed by a truck or how he's thrown from the car and dies on the road bleeding like a woman in her period. That explains why the government forces the cigarette manufacturers to put on the cigarrete pack the raw image of a guy with lung cancer.
The deeper you go the more painful it gets.
Angel: God, why do you let humans be killed in plane crashes?
God: Wtf are you talking bout? Get me more nude pictures of Melania.

Hmmm...Perhaps you need to see someone about that problem
Well, entertainment as a generalisation, loosely meaning brain stimulation via sensory input, so covers just about every input source and it's content, that will stimulate a response...So irrespective of the content one will be entertained, therefore to ignore content warnings is to seek entertainment...So to go further, one would suggest that content advice warnings are as much an encouragement to some people, as they might be a discouragement to others.
So, was it factually necessary to show the catastrophic final events of nine people on TV?...Or was it actually just macabre mass entertainment?
Isn't ones internal reaction to a chosen entertainment an inevitable and therefore necessary outcome?

Again, it's not entertainment. The TV broadcasters are just exploiting the human desire to know everything. I'm not sure if it's gossip because that happens when you pry into private matters, but people always want to know the details of every extraordinary event. That explains why humans want to know if there is life beyond Earth. That explains how Cristobal Colon discovered America. And that explains why people record with their phones everything they consider extraordinary.
Who discovered America, it doesn’t sound like the name you typed?
