In the news

It's amazing footage, worrying, sad e.t.c but I can't help but watch it with fascination. I know it's a bit Schadenfreude (I think that's the correct word) but one part of me loves watching things like this. It's wrong but fascinating and enthralling. I feel sad for all of the lifes that are ruined but it still amazes me.

It's not really schadenfreude unless you are actually taking pleasure from knowing people are suffering. Morbid fascination, maybe. Or awe. Like watching the planes hit the twin towers, it's hard not to watch but it is different to how we feel if we see pictures of the bodies of the people killed.
