the above video is a typical sensationalist media oriented scenario..will it happen like this? maybe..or not.
i had the chance to go to china a few days after the "tien an men square massacre".it was the best time to travel through china without other foreigners around. so a week after the massacre i still could see blood on the square..there were some guards staring at my video camera but that was it...it was far less creepy than being stared at by somebody "shady" in manhattan..it was strange how all foreigners left china, to go back to a even creepyer and more dangerous "hometown" in the US or elsewhere. (the media does that to us)
another example..when i visited sri lanka and the philippines, when the whole world saw war going on there..i was really disappointed to not see anything spectacular like in the news at all....ok some skelettons on the side of the road...so what? toombstones in a cemetary look more frightening.
often we have to go searching for "the action" or danger just to get electrocuted by some household appliance in home sweet home.
it really depends where we are or will be and the attitude we have...
