This event was, of course, a devastating blow to the friends and relatives of the deceased. According to psychiatrists, an incalculable number of people in the population at large were also traumatized by the images of the burned wreckage of the plane, the gore at the scene, the people crying over the dead bodies of friends and relatives, and the heart-rending prayers of the Daoist priests broadcast by the media.
罹難者的親人、朋友固然得承受巨大的衝擊、失落之痛；然而，在心理、精神醫師看來，透過媒體報導，全國民眾也暴露在飛機爆炸的大火焚燒、血肉模糊，以及罹難者的家屬痛哭認屍、斷腸招魂等現場畫面下，因此同時受到這個意外事件創傷的人數，恐怕更是難以計數。
