The sirens, the little lights in the sky, the military aeroplanes, and the sound of bombs.</p> <p>Jumping to Youtube (where I watch news channels), I found they have less information - just commentary, and one reporter on a street. I returned to the linked posts from the user known only as IDontEatBooty. The modern media, to get those images and videos, would have to contact each individual, and complete a contract, stating that they could use the footage. And they would have to talk over them - viewers would not receive the raw footage, to examine and replay as they pleased.</p>
