1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: It's just gone twenty seven after five. News Talk said,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: be awful for the family to see. I know this

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: is the people who were filming that tragic fatal accident

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: on the Southern Motorway. The news media will cover it up,

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: but you know they will film it, go out to

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: a story. They will film the bodies in the accident.

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: They would film the accident aftermath, but they would not

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: show it to the audience. Here we have social media.

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a camera. It's the new word of mouth.

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: You film what you see and you post it online.

11
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: It's the wild West, open slather. The cops are upset

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: with this.

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: Can I just say I thought that was disgusting? It

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: really was. I mean I saw some of the footage.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: It was filmed before emergency services arrived. There were close

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: ups of people to cease in the van, an injured

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: line on the road.

18
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, close ups of people who are injured lying on

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: the road. Not a nice thing to see or to experience.

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: But so long as you're not driving and filming, isn't

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: it actually potentially useful evidence? Couldn't it help with an investigation?

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: If police are able to review some of this footage

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: of a crash or the immediate aftermath of a crash.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Was that safety barrier strong enough? By the way, how

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: often does the truck's tire blowout? I mean that sounds

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: like a horrible thing to happen and frightening, but it

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: obviously happens, and then what You've got no control and

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: it's all over over, way back to the filming. It

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: is the new word of mouth. People don't just tell

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: each other what happened anymore. They need to show me.

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Have you got the video? Have you got the video?

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just the way I think that

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: society is going. I'm not saying that I on board

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: with it at all, but it's the way it's going,

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: isn't it. And there's very little chance we will turn

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: that ship around now, and trying to do so maybe

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: a little futile society. We are increasingly desensitized to stuff

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: and insensitive to the feelings of those around us. That's

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: just that's just who we are now, isn't it. It

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: has just gone twenty nine minutes after five. We're going

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: to talk about airport wait times and potential taxes in

42
