You mean "schadenfreude" - taking pleasure in other people's pain and misery?
That's a part of human personality as well, but that's more about someone slipping on a banana peel and then everybody laughing at them. I think everybody gets that sickening desperate feeling when it comes to terrorism - like seeing a plane crash. We all know it could happen to us all at any time. So I doubt people watch it to derive some sick pleasure from it.
