Perhaps it’s just that I haven’t been reading a lot of printed newspapers lately, but it appears to me that newspapers used to be more willing to print the details of car or plane crashes. For example, here is a series of photographs from the November 3 1930 edition of the Toronto Daily Star that document a plane crash that killed three people.

In particular, the mangled wreckage in photo #2 would not likely appear today, I think.
None of the three people shown here had reached their 25th birthday.
