Microblogging Plane Crashes - Twitter User Gives Firsthand Account of Accident in Real Time
Twitter User Gives Firsthand Account of Accident in Real Time

If you were awake yesterday, you undoubtedly heard about the plane crash in Denver. In breaking-news-style, it was covered and recovered with conflicting facts and second-person accounts of speculation. However, if you use Twitter and are friends with Mike Wilson, aka @2DrinksBehind, then you would have read firsthand accounts of the crash, live from his cellphone. Obviously, he was a little shaken up.

Thankfully, no one was killed in this accident.

I added the crash landing video from YouTube. It's interesting that the internet is making life threatening moments viral. Is that a bad thing or simple human fascination?

I think whether it's bad or not depends on the information being shared. When you violate someone's privacy it's terrible, but if you're talking about your own experience, it's your choice, and people are going to want to listen. Pretty wild, and a good debating point, JG!
