My favourite is the novelist Chris Cleave had his first book "Incendiary" (about a terrorist bomb attack on London) released on the same day as the 7/7 London bombings.
The publisher pulled all advertising and all copies were hidden at the back of book shops as a mark of respect / so as not to be seen to be trying to profit from such an event / out of general decency.
Pretty much killed it.
