Why is someone being allowed to advertise footage of dead people?
Please take this down.

I filmed what I saw. I was unable to get to the front of the station were the press pack were so I went around the back to find out what was going on. I flimed the two bodies carried out and reported that on returning to a computer. At the time there was no media saying there were fatalities and I didn't know untill returning and I went online that I learnt there had been multiple explosions. Personally I felt it important to confirm that people had been killed at a time when the media and the authorities had not yet admitted this themselves. I'm sorry that this offends you but there it is. At least 12 people are now confirmed dead and if the mainstream have those images they will be using them. I do not see a problem with showing images of what occured - that is journalism.

What's the Problem?

Have any of the people commenting on this video actually watched it? All that swearing and ranting and there's nothing more grotesque than you might have seen on the telly already. I don't see that there's anything wrong with showing videos of the emergency services at work: there are no body parts, no dead bodies shown, not even a body bag. In my opinion such videos bring disasters a little closer to home and allow people to empathise with the people involved and, where appropriate, galvanise them into action. We feel for the victims, bystanders in shock, and the wonderful emergency services who have to endure the horrors of the clean up operation. Stop jumping to conclusions and use your energy for love, not ranting and raving!

This video contains nothing to get on your high horse about, seen worse on Newround.

Wot's your problem? In what way is this guy a vulture compared to the rest of the media and what exactly is wrong with him protecting his footage against commercial exploitation?

Fucking hell, get a grip.

wots your problem

C'est la vie

It's not nice, but it's life.
Trying to flog it, well I'm in two minds about that.....
But that he filmed it, well if you don't like it, don't watch it.
