NBC weatherman, Al Roker, shared a picture of himself and his crew while he was covering the story of the flooding in South Carolina. Roker and his crew were smiling in the picture, but in the background, there was a car in a ditch. He removed it from social media when people starting calling him out for smiling during a horrible disaster. After the outrage, Roker apologized for the picture and stated that the person who was in the vehicle was safe.
I think that this is important because we have natural disasters all the time, and we all know how devastating they can be. Also we live in a time period, where selfies are popular. Some people don't understand that there's a time and a place to take a selfie, and during a natural disaster, isn't the time or the place.
