Netflix will prob want to use this video in an upcoming movie, like it did with the Lac-Megantic train crash footage in #BirdBox, disrespecting a tragedy where 47 people perished – it really shouldn’t https://t.co/dCWLAgXTWO

I have no idea what the problem is in using real footage in disaster movies if it doesn’t show people actually being killed in reality. This is a relatively-new concern and is puzzling to me. There must be thousands of movies that use footage from real disasters in some manner. I can think of 50 or more off the top of my head, and even more TV shows.

I guess this is a novel part of offense culture? Where it’s imagined if something is offensive to anyone, anywhere, it shouldn’t be done? I can’t buy into that or endorse it as literally everything is offensive to someone, somewhere.
