Jay,
On your page, you say: "Our desire is that viewing the crash videos
should
be an educational experience, with the goal of preventing similar
accidents
in the future." As a CFI, please tell me how I can learn from, and pass
on
lessons to my students regarding each of the videos on your website.
They may not "learn" a damn thing. But they will be reminded how a
instant
of inattention or carelessness can have rather exciting consequences. To
say a student could never learn anything from watching crash videos is
Really Silly.
The likes of you and Dudley would rather see these videos locked up in a
vault somewhere never to be seen again?
Since you conveniently deleted the rest of my post, for completeness, here
it is: "Now, don't get me wrong, I don't see anything wrong putting a video
resource on your website, it's just the false pretence of 'education' that
just doesn't seem right/true."
So before you rant and rave and put words in my mouth, make sure you get
your facts right.
. . . Then again, some of them are just cool to watch.
While I don't speak for others on this NG, I can categorically state that I
certainly would not find it "cool" to watch my friend dying, or anyone else
for that matter.
