Default Jay's "Plane Crash Video Ubersite"

I had to laugh. Jay's aviation video web site is famous now (well,
about as famous as you can get on the Internet), except that it's being
touted as specifically a web site for aviation crashes.

But they do say, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Right? And
besides, I guess there ARE a lot of crashes there. All in the name of pilot
education, last I heard. :


Interesting. Sadly, I haven't had a lick of time since early July to
update the site -- and I'm getting letters of concern from all over the
world! This little side page has exploded into (what could be) a
full-time job, and regular visitors are truly upset that I haven't
posted an update in almost a month. Be careful what you start doing in
your "spare" time...

But the videos keep coming, whether I upload 'em or not. I've probably
got 30 new ones sitting on my PC, for the time when I get a few hours
to upload 'em.

I've worked hard to keep it from becoming a "train wreck" site, adding
as many NTSB links and intelligent commentary as possible. Most people
appreciate the effort -- but some, like the guy who has "discovered" us
-- apparently only go there for the thrill.

Too bad.
