darthmelyanna: queen-of-the-merry-men: freifraufischer: madgastronomer: dirtydirtychai: destinyrush: she ain’t wrong Im so???? What asshole drew this?? As if we don’t have the very recent, devastating shipwrecks of the Costa Concordia (2012) in which video from firefighters helped prove the captain abandoned his ship in a disaster that resulted in 32 fatalities or the sinking of the Sewol ferry in Korea (2014), in which over 300 people, mostly middle school students, were drowned, but not before many sent footage of the ferry’s announcements telling people to stay seated and not evacuate, proving the negligence of the ferry’s crew. Many of them were able to get final goodbye messages to their friends and family before they drowned. Ability to send final messages aside, documentary archival video footage is PRICELESS in situations like this. After any kind of public event, you bet your ass police are asking for any and all cell phone footage from the area. anyway, in conclusion, that artist can fuck off And WTF, there were people literally sitting in the lifeboats on the Titanic sketching it. That’s where that iconic fucking image of it COMES FROM, you WOMBATS. And those pictures helped prove that the Titanic broke up on the surface. There’s nothing wrong with recognizing that you’re in the middle of a historical moment and wanting to record that. And this was, like, a valued skill at the time? Being able to record what things looked like was prized.Is the impulse to record events maligned now because it can be done by anyone with a smartphone now, and not just people with training and resources? -- source link
