Why is the news hidden/flagged? A terror attack is ongoing in Munich right now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12145252

Edit: and Nizza terror attacks and Turkish events recently? They were on HN. Double-standard? All the flagging and downvoting is getting more and more on HN - how does this help the community?

I would like to remind you that the 9/11 reporting on Slashdot during the attack was outstanding. All other news websites couldn't handle the traffic and were offline. A relative of mine was up in the tower during the attack and survived - and we followed the reporting via CNN and stayed in contact later via email as the telephone network was down.
