Have you ever wondered that why blast, plane crash or accident news with big death toll grabs higher views on TV? Why it is so?

Death is a fact. Fascination with death is a part of human history. We daily see or listen about many famous people leaving the world on TV channels, and just change the channel and forget about it until, there is a news of blast, plane crash or a big accident. People glue to TV to watch the updates from the affected spot: higher death toll means higher views and higher ratings.   


 Lets analyse why blasts, plane crashes and associated higher toll toll get more views and attention from masses around the world.

Death is a horrible experience for anyone living in this world despite a difference in race and religion, but sometimes it becomes attractive and conspicuous. A death caused by any accident, bomb blast or sudden natural disaster adds ghastly bumps for anyone who overheard or views it, but at the same time he wants to listen and catch more scenes out of the incident. Agree!



News channels get higher ratings and more viewership, when there is news about any accident, death or violence around the world. The rising number of deaths means the mounting number of TV watchers.

An Airplane is crashed, a train is collapsed in another, an earthquake jolted the city ups and down, a massive bomb blast hit the concert and many more like this grabbed instant pull of viewers. People keep on tuning the news channels and show up fear and moaning with an increased toll of death. People make the videos from the affected spot and get higher number of views and shares on social media within seconds.

People look for terrible scenes from the spot; they want to see the relatives crying and the visuals of ambulances. The hurriedly rolling stretchers appeal the viewers. If not enough, then they scroll the YouTube and Google to watch more awful. Terrorists use this fear of death as a tool to convey their message and attempt to increase the death toll in violent attacks, as they know by this they’ll mark their position in media channels and will grab more influence. 
      
We daily tune our TV channels and scroll on different channels to catch up with any program of interest. Young pauses the fingers on remote by spotting on sports or music channels; women can’t go beyond entertainment and food channels mostly, and a few show interest listening to headlines, but have you ever wondered what! All above genre stick to news channels as soon as any news about big disaster appears on TV screens like we see a terrible chemical blast in the capital city Beirut, Lebanon which jolted the earth in area, and caused hundreds to die. The live videos of blast are shared across the world just in minutes.

Why is it so?  Death is a fact. Fascination with death is a part of human history. Humans want sensation and thrill by nature; blood, pain and crying fabricate that drama for them associated with accidents. Further,  every human is fearful of an abrupt and terrible death for himself and these hidden fears come out and people watch and share blast or accident news to cover their subconscious thoughts.

Every human wants an easy and synchronized death for us and for our loved ones. While watching the accidents and disaster news, death looks horrible and glue with our minds with a series of questions. All situation look like any real movie and we feel sympathy for the victims.

 How people would be calling for help in their last minutes? Why wouldn’t they rush off the affected area to save their life? What would happen if I meet the same situation? How nature can be so cruel to its men. What would if victims could hint about near future...and our subconscious keeps on finding the answers while watching and sharing the horrible incidents reporting.

Science claims to unveil the mysteries of nature but in fact, it is still blind.
Neither Science nor any futurist can’t predict the time and cause of death for anyone. The only way to let us save from brutal death is to always pray from almighty God, who is the master of our life for the harmonized ending of life. A death that doesn’t discuss, watched or thrashed out in public as gestures of misfortune and sympathy. Ameen
