Some of the most graphic pictures you'll see are on MSNBC in the early morning hours when they're reporting live.
I still remember the first war. They were doing a live telecast from one of the hotels where the reporters were staying, when the missiles first started flying. The reporters were all huddled in the rooms talking about what an experience it was. In the middle of the telecast there was a huge boom. The guy with the camera rushes down the hotel stairs to the kitchen area where an out of control missile had hit the hotel.
Lying on the floor face up with her arms outstretched was a young girl in her teens, long dark hair...obviously dead with blood all over her. All the other employees were just standing around her so shocked they didn't know what to do. One of the men was crying at the cameraman not to film anymore. This is all live on the air and she'd just been killed seconds before the camera got there.
They've never showed that clip on tv again.
Seeing somebody killed live on TV is a lot different than getting the condensed version you see on the daily news.
I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like in real life.
