This natural reaction is made worse by the fact that nowadays we see pictures of the disasters in colour, repeatedly and often in real time. Like a well crafted horror movie is meant to make us feel that this horror could happen to us too, the way news is reported nowadays makes us feel that this is happening to us and creates more fear than a verbal or written second hand account.
I think that when we witness sudden pain and death on such a large scale, we can feel lost and out of control not knowing whats happening. I think natural disasters remind us of our own personal dramas, losses, insecurities, trauma or even abuse
