Recently, a man faced a barrage of criticism online following his decision to post a video of his family’s horrifying car crash, which left their vehicle overturned. 

The viral video captured the man’s actions as he attempted to extract his family from the mangled wreck, and showcased his efforts to assist a toddler who had suffered minor injuries.

Many netizens lambasted him for choosing to film the entire ordeal instead of focusing solely on ensuring his family’s safety.

Critics argue that his behavior was both reckless and inappropriate, and have questioned the wisdom of exposing his family’s traumatic experience to public scrutiny.

Moreover, several commentators have questioned whether they could have coped with the situation as the man did, recording the crash while simultaneously attending to his loved ones. 

Some have even suggested that his apparent prioritization of social media over his family’s welfare is indicative of a broader cultural trend, in which the desire for online attention overrides concerns for personal safety and well-being.

In short, while the man’s actions may have been well-intentioned, they have sparked a heated debate over the propriety of filming traumatic events for the sake of social media exposure. 

“It’s so annoying that you have to record everything”

Meanwhile, there were also those that praised the man for his apparent calmness in the face of such a traumatic event.
