No...you're not the least bit interested in flight safety, and you'll
never sell that line to me in a million years.

What, precisely, do you see wrong with viewing aircraft crashes for
reasons
other than flight safety?

Humans are fascinated with video-taped accidents of ALL kinds, simply
because they are so rare. The ability to capture an accident on video,
for
later viewing, is one of the true marvels of the last 100 years.

Personally, I view aviation videos for the thrill, as well as for any
"flight safety" aspects I may glean from them. Quite frankly, the odds of
my obtaining any useful information from watching an F-4 bolt over the
side
of an aircraft carrier are almost nil -- but that doesn't make watching
the
video any less fascinating.
