I covered that earlier, you are TOTALLY correct in saying we cant ban stuff just because a few people might get upset.
BUT....... The families asked ITV to postpone/cancel this storyline, we need to look at WHY they said it.
Any day now, the board could report on the accident, its active and its RAW at the moment, emotions are high. Right now is not the best time to air this VERY similar tragedy. As many have written, FFS its only light entertainment!! If that's so, is it REALLY essential to do it now?? Will the world end if you waited a few months and the dust has settled?
My views are purely personal, I'm not saying you are wrong and I am right, really!! That's why my accusation is set as low as saying it is insensitive.

jayteeto, I completely agree with you. I watch Emmerdale all the time, and I also have 3000 hours airtime.
I thought the storyline was shockingly insensitive. If they have to kill off a few characters, why not be more inventive, have an HGV trash the party, or even a gas explosion....but the episode was contrived and ridiculous.
