#1 It's a pity that we will probably never see the footage, but I understand. There is no way to show it to the world that would not evoke horror, no matter how deserving the villains.

In WWII, I remember the tale of a pilot or passenger on a US aircraft that caught a Japanese ship unexpectedly and strafed it. At altitude, he was at first puzzled, because it looked like the ship was transporting lumber, with shattered boards and timbers flying up off the deck.

And then he realized that it was a troop transport. What he thought was flying lumber, was arms and legs.
