The body is lowered wrapped in blankets, tied with a rope, from what remains of a building in Venezuela. In the background, music. That detail was what set social media ablaze.
Thousands commented angrily: it seemed like a lack of respect toward someone who died in the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that have already left thousands dead. But others came out to defend the rescuers, many from countries such as Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico, and Spain: lowering a rigid body without proper equipment, in the midst of chaos, does not come with an etiquette manual.
Was it insensitivity or simply the harsh reality of an impossible rescue? What do you think?
