  1. You really putting cinematic Hanz Zimmer-like music to this? You really need a new audio guy, this is beyond mismatched.

    1. @hj Wasn’t it put there specifically for the audience to hear it? Hence I’m commenting on the piece as it was produced and presented to me.. FOH, you must be just as incapable.

    2. i’m actually interested now. what would be appropriate? another song? the raw sound of the done propeller? silent?

    3. @xcites you Silence and the background sounds of the city below would have been ideal…. This is supposed to be news reporting, not cheap entertainment

    1. @Mark Lugg when it was first posted. The cards came up 20 seconds into the video around the 1:20 mark.

    2. @Happily Ham YouTube doesn’t do that automatically, you have to put them up your self and you can decide when they appear and for how long

    1. This was horrible i have never seen this kind of explosion. I dont think it was appropriate to add in the music.

    2. @The GamingWolf87 I was going to say this. How disrespectful to the lives lost, to turn this into some movie production as if it had entertainment value. Very low morality these click-hungry news outlets have.

    3. @Jero Toro It kind reminds me of a disrespectful family member “formerly” of ours one of our family member of the family had died and he went to his country for the funeral rather then showing respect they decided to sign and play guitar. And that was beyond disrespectful.

  2. frustrating ending ,,why cant youtube wait until the vids are over to plaster the vid ads blocking 99% of the screen,,,screwed up the whole vid

    1. Those parts are controlled by the uploader. They just didn’t add a blank outro space for those parts to show up over.

  3. Aside from the complaints about the music and captions being covered up, just looking at this footage is horrific to see. It’s almost unbelievable.
