HopelessNightOwl,

The event being on a video puts an emotional distance. We are used to all sorts of true and horrible stuff on videos, wars, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc. Nobody is amazed. We are used to videos of dinosaurs marching across our screens. The special effects are so good that we can't tell the real from the fake and we know it. So when we imagine a video from an unpedigreed source showing something horrible our natural reaction is to imagine that it is makeup and CGI.

I don't know how to get past the problem but you will have to.
