I'm not worried about it. I'm simply stating that leaving in vulgar language is not necessary and should be deleted. I see no rationale for any exceptions - period. Is there a law against obscenity over the air or not? If so, those who violate it should be fined. It's quite simple.

I mis-wrote in my previous post. The sounds heard on the overhang in the lobby are not bodies, but living persons impacting after falling from a great height. In the version I saw, there are at least fifty (50) hits. And it's extremely difficult to listen to after the first few.

The film has been edited. Images of the bodies that littered the ground were deleted as were images of body parts.

In any event, this is not viewing for children. But I suspect that you're letting your hatred of CBS getting the better of you.

So watching a Fireman use 'vulgar language' is offensive but seeing him die a few minutes later is not?

"I'm simply stating that leaving in vulgar language is not necessary and should be deleted."

I'm still struggling with the question of; Who decided which words are "bad words" and which words are not "bad words"? It's really amusing, and at the same time interesting when you stop and think about it.

Are you my sister-in-law's husband?
He's totally detached from reality like you.
This happened. Go to any violent scene in your area it's rough it's tough. It's real! No sugar, no icing.
If someone said "XXXX" it was an expression of frustration and had no obsenity to it. "XXXX" was four times an
"Oh Gosh!". This is history.

Sounds a bit melodramatic, don't you think?

I do not believe that profanity in this context would be considered obscenity. This is not pornography we're talking about here, and somehow I doubt that bringing this to court would even result in this particular broadcast, in this timeslot, being found indecent, let alone obscene.
