Omagh Bombings

I watched the TV news coverage of the start of the trial of the Omagh bomber which was accompanied by amateur video footage of the aftermath of the blast and I couldn't help but be shocked that somebody actually video'd this while people were lying in the streets injured, dead or dying. It really takes an extremely callous person to do this sort of thing, thinking of how much money they can be paid for the video instead of helping the injured.
