I disagree, I believe these photos and images need to be shown more often, it seems people have forgotten what happened that day and those days from that past( similar to the pictures Eisenhower and Patton demanded at the Nazi concentration camps). We as a society are all to quick to forget the pain and suffering caused by these events. I don’t think we need to dwell in the past but we must remember.

The victims are not "graceful" and to say someone 'embraced the fall in the last moments" is a pathetic attempt to justify posting them.
Yes, the tragedy needed to be recorded (similiar to the pictures Eisenhower and Patton demanded at the Nazi concentration camps) but only as proof that these things happened.

What if a sound man had been there? Would be impressed that he captured a scream of terror?

I've often wondered if I would have jumped, in the hope my body might be recovered.
