Jay, I didnt see the part of your site with the crash videos, and assume
it's been altered now. But I keep up several sites that change with
time, I get the impression you added videos that weren't so "cool"
but didnt change the page description? There's not much an excuse
for a mistake like that, there is nothing to enjoy or that is cool
about the kinds of videos people have been discussing on here.
The 9/11 shots are important in that we never forget, but sure arent
enjoyable or cool, once again, in my opinion.

To which I pled guilty early on in that horrible, bitter thread.

I've already altered a couple of the less appropriate phrases on the site
(which can be seen at http://alexisparkinn.com/aviation_videos.htm ), but I
haven't had time to tinker with it much. (As can be noted by the fact that
it still says "Enjoy!" after my little primer on how to make the videos
play. That single word, written long before any "disaster" type videos were
added to the site, inflamed poor Dudley to the point of apoplexy.)

As I explained elsewhere, I consider this page to be an insignificant,
off-topic page in a gigantic website, on a par with my page on "Fly-in
Museums." I put it together long ago, and have only added videos as people
have sent them to me in little dribs and drabs over the years.

The fact that I never again looked at the header for the page as I added new
(and more disastrous) video is a shame, and something I truly regret.
However, this fact would never have come to light at all had I not sent the
URL to Dudley for his critique, in hopes that he would actually help me
write some safety-related captions for each video.

THAT turned out to be a truly dumb idea, but it was all quite innocent, I
assure you.

Either way, I will be making major changes to the page in the coming days,
but right now I've got a full house and pilots here from both coasts to take
care of first.
