Well it's hard to say really, because there's just so much shit camera footage out there
Like during the London bombings, oh look, blurry footage of the backs of peoples heads as they go up the escalators from the tube, thanks for giving this prime airtime BBC.

But I suppose it's just that there's so much more everything out there now, so if you want 'good' footage, like this or the amateur stuff at 9/11, you gotta take all the weeks of 'send in your snow pics' nonsense too.

I think the improvement of the quality of cameras is making a big difference.

I suppose so.
To be honest I don't really understand why this stuff gets filmed anyway, maybe I'm just TOO LOLD but if I see something bad or amazing my first reaction isn't 'better get out my phone', it's 'WOWWWWWWWWW' or 'OH SHIIIIIIIIT'

Then I have a wank

I'd probably record a big fire to be honest.
