One of my friends said recently that she watches videos of people finding out that Princess Diana died and she feels a weird nostalgia for that kind of collective experience - wondering if there have been other celebrity deaths that have felt like a collective grief i think of Kobe Bryant. Don't watch basketball. But a legend getting himself and his daughter in a helicopter accident feels both tragic and kinda cartoonish. i had no words but i remember i was by a tv and everyone was watching and we all felt this morbid shock
