The crash of a Mexican Navy ship into New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, that sent shock waves, was captured and shared by an individual on social media only to receive criticism.
The video features a woman standing near the bridge as the Navy ship named Cuauhtémoc approaches in her direction only to hit the bridge. In the video can be seen smiling and enjoying the evening as somebody recorded her in camera. As the ship approached in her direction, she turned around to get a glimpse of what she might have thought to be beautiful.
Tragically, two Navy men were killed in the incident. The collision caused one of ship’s masts to crash onto the deck.
Even after people witnessed the tragedy unfolding in front of them, giggles were heard in the background as the recording continued.
The circulation of video made many netizens upset who questioned the woman’s thought about showing a tragic incident unfold and laughing over it.
The video was again shared by a user on Instagram who goes by the username @inzaneskate. Criticising the woman for sharing the video on social media, he wrote, “She unknowingly captured some of the most harrowing moments of her life, believing she’d filmed something beautiful. Still, she shared the video exactly as she saw it—through her own lens. What are your thoughts on her decision?(sic)"
Replying to his post, another commented, “Two people fell to their death and some were laughing as they filmed their death.(sic)"
The video reshared by @inzaneskate has so far garnered over 1,10,000 likes and over 5,400 comments.
