Off-road truck plows into crowd in California 8/14

From CNN:

An off-road race in southern California's Mojave Desert became a scene of horror over the weekend when a truck crashed into a crowd of spectators along the roadside, killing eight people, authorities said Sunday.

The race's sanctioning body, Mojave Desert Racing, urges spectators to stay back 100 feet from the 50-mile course -- "But as you can tell, there are no delineations to where the track begins and where the track ends at this point," said Joaquin Zubieta, a California Highway Patrol spokesman.

Theres nothing to see in the video


While the video doesn't show much, I probably wouldn't want to see any more. Eight people were killed when this truck careened off course and into a rock wall where people were gathered/sitting. Apparently two of the victims were decapitated.

This video needs getting rid of. The rules are pretty simple on this:

"The presence of human fatality is acceptable and not considered "snuff" if presented as a limited portion of a lengthy educational, informative news report or documentary. Our definition of "snuff" does include but is not exclusive to any short clip in which a human fatality occurs whether or not any victims are actually visible on camera. "

This is snuff as defined by video sift. Get it out of here.

Agree with you in principle, but I'd rather it gone because it does not represent the best of anything in the form of web video content. I can watch COPS or Telemundo if I desire to gawk at human foibles involving violent, accidental, or purposeful fatalities. I would vote nay if i could.
