This is one of those funny quirks of human nature that never ceases to make me wonder. I was there with my wife and girls a few years ago and we were sickened by the same behaviour you witnessed.
We were in New York last August and it was like a family fun day of happy snaps in front of what was one of the greatest acts of horror in our modern history.
Each to their own I guess, I just ignore them and let them get on with it.
But you can't help but wonder what motivates people like this - probably a 'mob mentality tourist group thing' that they don't think about at the time.
Pretty off putting though
Thanks ergmic, good post
Cheers
