ON THE AIRPLANE CRASH SITE PICTURES

Turkish news paper MilXXX has printed a Picture of the latest airplane crash on July the 11th. Also www.airportXXX.com has printed many pictures from both of the recent accidents.

It is a human shame that these pictures displayed explicitly burned dead human pictures. These are pictures of human bodies which lost their lives of helpless human beings...

I am ashamed as a Turkish citizen that some of Turks try to make money by selling the almost pornographic pictures of poor human bodies…

The worst of it, this is done by an aviation magazine at the highest air traffic period of the year. These pictures have a very bad affect on the aviation community’s psychology. I can imagine the damage as I had to cope with similar things while I was working for operational air traffic in Germany, Karlsruhe.

Airplane crash site pictures should not show the bodies of human beings, never never naked and explicit… The measures to prohibit this should be the same with child pornography.

Whatever the religion, the dead belongs all. Oh whoever you are, please let them sleep in peace!

Amen.
