People seem naturally drawn to disaster and calamity- even the media seems to enjoy reporting on disasters and fashion faux pas more than, say, the latest Nobel prize winner.

Regarding your question about whether bystanders are considered bullying- I would say that bystanders are complicit with the act in not taking action against it, but in some sense, sometimes people just don’t know how to react in a situation. Snapchatting the scene is probably worse than just watching though- might be as bad as the Auschwitz selfie.
