All this blame and messaging for Black people when data shows the areas lagging are areas that voted for Trump.

Can't make white folks uncomfortable, I guess.

Nationally, the latest CDC data indicates that while more than 61 percent of white people have received at least one dose, fewer than 13 percent of Black people have received at least one dose.

Era's standards for insta-lock threads continue to baffle me:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/when-you-watch-disaster-footage-that-you-truly-wish-you-hadnt-italy-cable-car-accident.445562/

So a few weeks ago, a terrible tragedy happened in Italy when a cable car cable snapped, leading to disaster with the loss of 14 lives, and serious injuries for the one survivor: a 5 year old boy who has lost his mother, father, great grandparents, and 2 year old younger brother in the incident. Now awake from a coma and with only his aunt by his side, he is suffering post-traumatic amnesia and still no understanding of the tragedy.

A few days ago, Italy's public broadcaster Rai broadcasted leaked CCTV footage of the incident, to much criticism. This footage has now been shared extensively across other major media outlets and social media.

But I won't post a link here. It's beyond distressing to watch, in my opinion anyway. After seeing it in my Facebook feed, out of unfortunate curiosity I decided to watch, and with great regret.

Because what I expected to see was.. well not this. I expected a cable snapping and a cable car gondola in the distance falling instantly to the ground. That's not what happens at all.

The gondola is arriving at the station at the top of the mountain, you can see the families on board ready to disembark. At this point I think.. oh this is some prior stock footage of the cable car in its normal operation to set the scene. Right? No. The engineer is just about to open the door to let them out, everything looks totally normal. When suddenly the cable snaps, the gondola jolts backwards aggressively knocking everyone to the floor, at which point it flies back down the support lines for over 20 seconds at 60+mph because the emergency brakes had been disabled. Yes wtf. And then it hits the pylon, at which point you see the gondola fall to the mountain and go out of view. And we know what happens next as it rolled down the mountain.

But knowing they are in there, frightened for their lives at it hurtles back down the supporting cables for those 20 seconds, with children in there too. The footage is just too real, that you can see them through the window and everything looks so normal before disaster strikes. And honestly it's been on my mind constantly for the last few days. I can't stop thinking about the terror they must have felt and that poor 5 year old survivor who has lost his entire family.

It's just such a terrifying video. One that should certainly be shown to every cable car engineer that thinks it is a good idea to disable the emergency brakes.

But for the rest of us, no. I can't unsee it. Much like footage of the WTC, there are some things that stay with you forever. But these days, everything is captured, shared.

Have you watched "disaster" videos/footage that you really wish you hadn't? That you can't unsee. Did curiosity get the better of you? Has there been anything that has ended up engrained in your mind forever?

Note: This is not a thread to share such videos, just your experiences of how you have reacted to them.

Two replies:

Will just say, you are going to hear some of the most horrifying, harrowing stuff in this thread, even if people don't share the footage here.

Cable cars always terrifed me. Shocking that stuff can still happen

And then, nine minutes into its existence, locked:

As tragic as the event was, the horrific nature of the video has been blown out of proportion.
At least from what i've seen, you see the cable car come up, and then go down really fast, but you don't really see it flip around with bodies flying everywhere or whatever.

Not trying to be edgy either, but even during the Japan Tsunami of 2011, you were shown worst stuff 24/7 on TV.

I won't deny the reason for showing it though was purely speculative/exploitative.

Black man beating an incredibly racist police department and legal system.

Of course now everyone knows he did that shit🤷🏻‍♂️

because the LAPD is far more damaging to society that one murderer getting away scott free 

If we (black folks) got rich enough, laws wouldn’t matter to us too. That self serving capitalism ‘meritocracy’ would mean if we were rich/and or famous enough life would be peachy even if we stabbed two people to death.

As someone said earlier, the fact a bunch of white Americans had a ‘What, the system has flaws?!?’ was icing on the take.

I don't think there's anyone out there that thought that he was innocent, but the systematic racism revolving around the California government, the LAPD, the FBI, the DEA, the FTA....it was enough to make people champion someone who was so embarrassingly guilty.

Pretty sure this one is trolling because the user name... still

Class trumped race for the first time in most of our lives. That gave us hope. I'm writing this during a time of great inequality and I still feel that way. It's not that we thought he was innocent, it's just that nobody should go to jail with that shitty ass case that was thrown at him. Never try to frame a guilty man, he'll walk every time. I've actually grown more skeptical over time. I remember as a kid I listened to the media shame the defense for mentioning Nicole's partygirl lifestyle. To them it was incendiary to suggest that this chick was partying with drug lords for sex and drugs, then partying with cops for protection and special treatment. In the age of the instathot nobody would bat an eye at that suggestion.

This one is serious:

Simply put, people were happy to see the system fail in a black man's favor for once.

its a society where the white people and the justice system gets over on black people all the time. So yeah, black folks were happy to get one over on society.

it sucks, because a woman’s life was reduced to nothing more than a cynical statement on social inequity… but again, that’s been the reality for Black lives for quite a while.

Yeah, because society only fails black people. The world revolves around the US and their racial politics and inequalities. Never have other people experienced a murder getting away with it because their social status  outside of the US.

I guarantee most of those people weren't old enough to have cared about the OJ trials when they were happening. Most of them are just pretending to be happy that OJ got off because they think it's the "black" thing to do.

[Transhuman]

[Lonewulfeus]

My dad took me to the dentist that day to get one of my baby teeth pulled because it was impacting the adult tooth and they had the news on, the verdict came in while we were on the way home.  While eating lunch afterwards I managed to bite a decent size chunk out of my cheek and didn’t realize it til I bled everywhere.  Thanks OJ

[Boredfrom]

At this point, it sounds like a lot of people are role playing in that OJ thread.

. The way my mother, a black attorney, explained it to me was that OJ was a safe acceptable black man (who famously said that he wasnt black he was OJ). When he murdered his white trophy wife white America was so shocked and appalled that the whole country ground to a halt and obsessed over his trial for what at the time seemed like forever. When OJ got acquitted because ironically the Los Angeles criminal justice apparatus was so racist incompetent and corrupt that they fucked up the prosecution many white people were saddened and disillusioned with the criminal justice system, and to many black people this was the funniest thing to ever happen. Everyone knew he was guilty, hell most black people didnt fuck with OJ before the murder.

I was too young to understand all the dynamics at the time but the day of the OJ verdict was the first time I had a "fuck these white people" moment. My 5th grade teacher stopped our all white (besides me and two Puerto Rican girls) class to play the trial on TV and she broke down crying after the verdict was read. I was already pissed at all the attention that the trial was getting because I partially blamed it for the Knicks losing to the Rockets in the finals (they interrupted game 5 of the fucking finals for car chase!) I just didnt understand how people could be so concerned about this trial involving people they didn't know. I didnt see any white people concerned about the Rodney King verdict, not like this. I was really confused for a moment and then I had a great sense of clarity, I finally got it. I laughed right in that womans face and got sent to the principals office.

This totally happened or you are not a total psycho.

As an Aboriginal Australian my take was always that it was pretty understandable that black people in America were somewhat happy with the outcome.

the thing I always felt was strange was how strongly white people felt about the outcome or how white people can’t fathom why black people would have been happy.

Sure buddy.

On our way to school today, my son asked if WWE is fake. I told him we need more time to talk about it, so we'll talk when he gets home from school. He said if it's fake he's going to tell everyone to not watch WWE because it's fake. Also, he already knows Vince is a mad man who controls the commentary team and referees by yelling in their ear. He basically came up with the idea "what if Vince controls the matches too!?"

A little background info, we watch AEW in our home. We do not watch WWE. So I think he thinks just WWE is fake, and not all of pro-wrestling, so this is going to be a tough conversation. Probably harder than the Santa and Tooth Fairy talk. I'm a bit nervous about it.

What I said or the sheer amount of caucacity flowing through this thread?

The absolute levels of fragile caucacity in that thread was 

Got a one month ban for "white fragility" and "abuse of report system" for reporting Kotto and Aerith for hostile posts, bigoted insults, and pointed out the moderation staff moderates black posters differently when it comes to openly insulting other people versus everyone else on the site.

Saw the ban, decided I'm done, requested full account deletion, got called a Karen (lmao) when they granted the request. Petty little people.

Ironic bit is, given my career, I do more to fight discrimination in any given workday than these dopes do in a year working at GameStop or some generic IT department while moderating a message board on the side, but I'm the enemy cause I think people shouldn't be assholes to other people.

summary -- banned for reporting asshole behavior
