  18. Editor’s note • The photograph involving Mr. Kerlee is not easy to view. But we concluded that that one image captured the human tragedy of the accident, the intense rescue effort and the immensity of the log pile. Had Mr. Kerlee died that night, the photo would not have been published. Tragically, he died the next day and our staff was saddened along with our readers. • We take great care with the words and images that The Dallas Morning News portrays each day, particularly those that can evoke strong emotions and disturb some readers. • We do not publish photographs to be sensational or to shock readers. Unfortunately, horrific events happen around the world and locally. Evocative photographs can be appropriate to convey the horror of a tragic event.
