Here are a bunch of photos of this accident. There are no victims, no blood just a real view of this accident that took the life of a little boy getting ready to have Christmas. It's sad, it's tragic and it's also news.
There is a big controversy over these photos and the Chicago cops that took them. I just don't see why anyone is disturbed about these photos. The accident was disturbing but aren't they always?

I have a lot of sympathy for the family but these photos won't make anything worse than it is.
It's natural for people including this gal to smile when their picture is taken. She's not smiling because some poor child was killed.
I feel for his family. The boy is in a better place, but Christmas will always be marked with tragedy for them.
By the way, at the scene, originally, the entire contigent of personnel from every walk of life did an amazing job is helping the injured and conationing any contaminents.
The only probelm was the idiot that decided to send these via email to EVERYONE. Think before you submit.
Hey, SHE sent them out.
I ask again how would you feel if it was at the scene of someone you loved. It isn't that the pictures hurt anyone....but they allow members of our department to lose credibility as they appear to have nothing else to do but snap smiling photos of themselves in front of a fatal accident. Not a big deal if she just took photos of the accident, but why standing in front of the plane with a smile on her face? She should never have been there to begin with let alone take photos after she was told never to do something so stupid. You believe what you want but you obviously don't have a law enforcement bone in your body or a bit of common sense.
I must say that that I see no disrepect here either. It was just like I said, a questioable career move. Posting the photos was a dumb idea.
I posted them to demonstrate there are not disrespectful. I think it's worse to talk about what you can't see. It could seem worse than it really was.
Keep up the good work!
I'm not speaking form experience but to see what Cops see day in and day out how can you not get by without such a sense of humor.
This policewoman looks odd with a smile on her face and I'm sure if she could take it back she would.
One thing is for sure, as horrifically tragic as the death of the young boy was, if it was any other airline, the family and their legal representatives would be in a never ending legal square dance of delay, delay, delay. I have no connection to Southwest Airlines, but I know them well enough to know they will do right by the family as best they can. Obvioiusly, nothing can bring their little boy back.
thank you
