Poor photo choice in Caterpillar story

Why would the Daily Herald choose to illustrate a business article about Caterpillar's recent earnings report by running a photograph of "Ground Zero"? Using the photo of a Caterpillar excavator removing soil at what could be considered the largest U.S. mass murder site was disrespectful and irresponsible. The lackadaisical choice shows an incredible lack of sensitivity, poor judgment and carelessness. It would have been better to run no photo at all.
