The detail of the photos from Japan

As you know the friends of the blog, go to the lair about 8,000 daily photo agency. For a mixture of curiosity / professionalism ground see them. The great earthquake that has shaken Japan and throughout the Pacific has been the subject of many photos. Just this weekend, have entered 2,000, states soon. After an apocalyptic earthquake like this there are all sorts of images. Many sights, such as illustrating the post, with a huge cargo ship (look at the proportions and sizes) literally flush against the port facilities.

In addition to these photos as bad as spectacular, there is one detail that I have not gone unnoticed. If you look at all the pictures on Saturday and Sunday (when it has passed the first blow and are already under way rescue and recovery operations) there is not a single instant in which they see a corpse / dead. At best, a blanket. What strikes me is that a little over a year the world suffered another destructive earthquake in Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world and abandoned. In the media this misfortune was a flood of images as raw and nasty. There he showed bodies of men, women, children, elderly or mutilated, burned or not, rotten with absolute impunity, with a naturalness heartbreaking. And not just the first few days, but when they had passed one or two weeks the putrefaction was walking freely through the ruins. I saw pictures of my life harder.

The question is why can launch a site does not in another. Why media, agencies, editors or whoever cared very much that we did not see a dead or Twin Towers or the Pentagon after the 11-S? "Out of respect, modesty? "For the same reason that we will not see in Japan? Are the residents and victims of the poorest country in the world and dragged deserve less respect than the first powers? Is it that misfortune is not the same or is there victims first and second? Perhaps the profession be thought to these things.
