On a wider front I think that one of the problems with everyday life these days is that everything is on film if it's in a public place. No matter what you do you can bet your life that someone will have it on YT within the hour if it's at all interesting. Or interesting to them. Imagine 50 years ago flying through or under every one of London's bridges. Unless someone was there completely by chance with a camera then that event would have been seen, that's all, just seen by the particular people who were looking in that direction.

Al Pollock ripped a Hunter through London Bridge on April 1st 1968. Not one photo, not one 'whoosh' of a sound recording. If that happened today it would have been photographed/videoed from a squillion different angles, probably in slo mo and infra red just to widen your choice.
