On May 10, there was a fatal car crash on the Garden State Parkway when a car slammed into the Egg Harbor Toll Plaza and burst into Flames. Footage of the crash was somehow released and made its way onto the internet on sites like Youtube and Liveleak.com, aired on the local news and was on the Atlantic City Press Website.
The NJ Turnpike Authority is investigating how the footage was released, but they had asked the sites to take down the video and LiveLeak.com co-founder Hayden Hewitt said that the website would not take down the video... "It's a newsworthy video, and it's definitely worth discussing," said Hewitt."If they can give us a legal takedown order, we will obviously have to take this down," Hewitt said. The Turnpike Authority spokesman wasn't very pleased by that response..."Do these people have families? It is just wrong to have this posted," Orlando said.The Turnpike Authority planned to examine legal options in the coming week, Orlando said. Meanwhile, an investigation continued into how surveillance footage ended up on the Internet.
"The video shouldn't have been released to begin with. We would like to know how that happened," Orlando said. Youtube has not responded to the request, the tv station says they got no complaints and the AC Press voluntarily pulled the video down from their site. So what do you think, is it newsworthy and worth discussing? It it flaunting tragedy to get attention? I'll put the link below the fold and you can decide for yourself, but i must admit i was conflicted as to whether to post it because if it was someone close to me, i would not want to have to see it.
