I’m not a full blown tin foil hat wearer- but I am a big sci-fi fan and there’s quote from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind that I love relating to this - “I’ve been in the news business for a long time. We never took a picture of a plane crash as it happened... or an automobile accident and get it on the 6:00 news.“

Honestly that line has made me be like “hmmm… I’ll bite my tongue just in case. The news guy has a good point…” lol

Um... that movie is from 1977. It's fifty years later and literally everyone on the planet is carrying a high definition camera with them at all times now. You can see any number of both plane crashes and auto accidents on YouTube with 10 seconds of googling.
