Answer: Both have videos showing man-made structures collapsing under stress resulting to human casualties and in one case, multiple deaths.
Accidents happen all the time. Most of them happen without witnesses and are described as just an accident by the news. They just become part of some statistics, forgotten just minutes after being read or heard. While there are some that are captured in high-def video showing the moments leading into and the accident itself. These ones stick to us. Not because of the macabre that ensues, I know for some people *cough* sickos *cough* it might be the case, but for most of us, it's because of the primal fear that it makes us experience.
They remind us just how fragile life can be. It's this mixture of fear and awe that keeps us glued to the screen, part of us wants to look away, part of us can't, won't. Seeing them reminds us of the value of being alive. And you know that crap that you're currently going through should really be the least of your worries.
Keep going to see the videos.
